Front Porch Plant Ideas That Ll Give Your Home Instant Curb Appeal

Here’s how to add some instant (and super-easy) plant-filled curb appeal to your front porch. Tip: If you’re a bit of a black thumb, consider self-watering planters that can help keep your plants thriving when you’re on vacation or a little forgetful. Yost suggests moving the planters away from the front door and out where they can get a little sun—and also out from under eaves or porch roofs, if possible, to reduce the amount you may have to water. If your planters will be in a brighter shaded spot, New Guinea impatiens, begonias, and lobelia are some options for you. In deep shade, try plants like torentia, caladium, Persian shield, tradescantia, coleus, or Boston fern.
