Creating a lush and vibrant shrub garden in outdoor plant boxes is a fantastic way to enhance your outdoor space. The key is selecting plants that thrive in containers while offering beauty and low maintenance. Here are some top choices:

1. Boxwood (Buxus spp.) – A classic choice for structured gardens, boxwood is evergreen, easy to shape, and adapts well to containers.

2. Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) – Known for their large, colorful blooms, hydrangeas add a dramatic touch to plant boxes.

3. Dwarf Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) – With stunning foliage, this compact tree brings year-round interest.

4. Lavender (Lavandula) – Perfect for sunny spots, lavender offers fragrance, drought tolerance, and pollinator appeal.

5. Heather (Calluna vulgaris) – A hardy, low-growing shrub that provides year-round color with minimal care.

For best results, ensure proper drainage, use high-quality potting soil, and water regularly. Pairing different textures and heights can create a dynamic, eye-catching display. Whether you prefer flowering shrubs or evergreen structure, these plants will transform your outdoor plant boxes into a thriving garden oasis.
