Begonias

If you’re wanting to really brighten up your patio space, begonias are the perfect place to start. These flowers will thrive in Florida’s warm climate and they love soaking up the sun so be sure you place them in a sunny spot on your patio. They come in a variety of colors like white, pink, red, and orange so you can add in bright pops of color to your patio and they are relatively easy to care for so they are ideal for new plant parents. You can plant begonias in a small pot, or you can even opt for a hanging pot to add dimension to your patio.

Lavender

You can add in some pollinating plants to your patio to attract butterflies and bees and lavender is one of the best. The bright purple will add in a pretty pop of color and you will love the calming presence that the lavender creates. Once the lavender has bloomed, you can use it throughout your home for aromatherapy. It will thrive on your patio and it is pretty low maintenance once it has been established. If you have pets, you will want to be sure they stay away from the plants though, as it can be toxic to both dogs and cats. Lavender will be a fragrant option to add to your patio garden.

Herbs

For those that are growing a more practical garden, you can try your hand at growing herbs that you can later use in your kitchen. You can try out a variety of hers like oregano, thyme, sage, and basil, and you will love cultivating plants that will have practical uses, as well. You will love getting to grow your own herbs and since they are smaller plants, you can grow several in one space, just be sure to mark what was planted where so you can keep track as they grow. Growing herbs on your patio will allow you to incorporate fresh ingredients into your kitchen whenever you wish.

With these patio plants, you can transform your outdoor space at our apartments near Pinellas Park, FL and get it ready for the spring season. Come home to Provenza at St. Pete and contact us today for more information!
