The Perfect Outdoor Flowers For Every Space
Summer is fast approaching, and with it, the thought of bright blooms and fun foliage adorning our patios, porches, and balconies. We’ve curated four outdoor collections to satisfy every style, making it easy to add expertly designed, coordinated color to your outdoor space.
Our outdoor collections are designed to bloom and flourish from the time they arrive on your doorstep all the way to the first fall frost. Each style is available in three different formats so that you can mix and match to fit your space:
- Choose a Hanging Pot if you want to carry the color upwards in your space. Great for adding height and maximizing floor space, hanging pots can be suspended from sturdy overhead areas like the eaves of a porch, a tall shepherd’s hook, or even a robust tree branch.
- The Medium Planter is the perfect accent on a side table or next to an outdoor sofa. It can also add color to the outside edge of steps, the top surface of pillars, or along walkways for a welcoming approach.
- A pair of Large Planters perfectly flank an outdoor entrance or focal point. Whether it be a doorway, walkway, or an outdoor fireplace, their larger stature frames these features in a balanced proportion.
Elevate With Ethereal Accents
Dreamy, wild, and full of relaxing hues, the Whimsical Collection is ideal for those who want to add a splash of cool-toned color to their spaces. Designed to celebrate the slightly unkempt cottage garden aesthetic, this collection features a delightful variety of flower forms, from upright spiky stalks, to gracefully arching seed heads, rounded balls of blooms, and oversized trumpet-shaped flowers. Choose this collection if you’re looking to create a perfectly imperfect outdoor retreat.
Where to place it
Choose an outdoor area with 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day, like an unobstructed area facing south or west. These plants can tolerate fewer hours of direct sun, but flowering and overall vigor will be reduced.
Pair it with
Thanks to its irregular form and variegated leaves, we think the Ficus Altissima is the perfect complement to the Whimsical Collection. This indoor tree can live in the sunny outdoors during the summer when properly acclimated over the course of a couple of weeks.
Showcase Sophisticated Styling
The Minimalist Collection leans heavy on the texture while featuring an understated color palette of silver, green, and white. We love it for brightening up a naturally shaded space, adding accents to a moonlight garden, or giving a calming element to an outdoor work space. Its classic styling is extra striking near stately architecture and brick walls, bringing beauty and contrast without competing for attention.
Where to place it
Choose an outdoor area that receives 4 or fewer hours of direct sunlight per day, like an area that faces north or east, or in a place shaded by trees or buildings. Avoid the harsh rays of the afternoon sun to keep this collection looking its best.
Pair it with
With its shiny foliage, delicately ruffled blooms, and intoxicating fragrance, the Gardenia pairs perfectly with the Minimalist Collection. It thrives in partly shaded conditions and can be overwintered indoors.
Create Vacation Vibes
With sizzling blooms of yellow, orange, and red alongside deep purple vines, the Tropical Collection is a surefire way to infuse a touch of the tropics into your everyday outdoors. The intense color contrast creates a warm welcome in front entryway areas, and thanks to their lush and leafy build, they layer seamlessly near pools, water features, and outdoor lounge areas. If you never want summer to end, this is the collection for you.

We can’t think of anything more tropical than the Bird of Paradise with its large, upright leaves. Be sure to acclimate it to the sunny outdoor weather over the course of a couple weeks when moving it outdoors for the summer.
Ignite An Explosion Of Color
If you love color, look no further than the Colorful Collection to amp up your outdoor space. Designed for high contrast in vivid tones, this collection flaunts an abundance of flowers and foliage in shades of chartreuse, pink, purple, and burgundy. We love how it takes center stage alongside neutral decor and natural materials, like wood or wicker. It brings a joyful exuberance to everyday activities as you make the most of your outdoor living areas.

One of our favorite blooming tropicals is the Mandevilla, a vining plant that is covered with cotton candy-pink flowers all season long. It can even be cut back and overwintered indoors in colder climates.
