Creating a sangria garden in outdoor plant boxes is a delightful way to grow fresh ingredients for your favorite summer drink. The best plants for sangria gardens combine fruits, herbs, and even edible flowers to add flavor, aroma, and visual appeal.

1. Citrus Trees (Dwarf Varieties) – Lemons, limes, and oranges are essential for a zesty sangria base. Dwarf varieties thrive in plant boxes and provide fresh fruit year-round.

2. Berries – Strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries add sweetness and color. They grow well in containers and can be easily harvested.

3. Mint – A must-have herb, mint enhances flavor and adds a refreshing touch. It spreads quickly, so plant it in a separate pot.

4. Basil – Adds a unique herbal note to sangria. Try varieties like sweet basil or Thai basil for different flavors.

5. Lavender – Edible lavender flowers bring a floral aroma and subtle taste, perfect for a sophisticated sangria twist.

For the best results, ensure your plant boxes have good drainage and receive plenty of sunlight. Regular pruning and watering will keep your sangria garden thriving. Mix and match these plants to create a personalized sangria blend that’s as beautiful as it is delicious!
