Our top 5 outdoor plants
Vivi
Vivi the lemon tree is one of our most special outdoor plants. Seeing lemons growing in the open air won’t be a familiar sight for most, but Vivi will fruit quite happily on a sunny balcony. Give her some liquid fertiliser once a month in spring and summer to encourage her to bear more fruit.
Ivy
English ivy is a familiar sight, usually seen trailing and climbing happily over anything that stays still. She’ll continue to grow, climb, and trail quite happily in most light conditions throughout the year, just remember to keep her soil nice and moist.
Mae
Mae is our easygoing, garden-friendly tropical palm. She’s used to coping in dry conditions, so she only needs a drink once the top two inches of soil dry out. She’ll also deal well with living somewhere windy - a stiff breeze won’t bother her at all.
Laurens
Bring a taste of the provinces with Laurens the French lavender. Pop him in a sunny spot in soil that drains well. His flowers will be at their most full and beautiful during the summer months.
Laura
Beloved by the ancient Greeks and Romans, bay trees have a rich history, and make a striking addition to your garden. Laura is fairly thirsty, so keep her regularly topped up with water in the summer months, and less so in winter. You can also use her leaves when cooking, just drop a few into sauces, curries, and stews.

Low-maintenance outdoor plants
There’s no shame in forgetting to water your outdoor plants, these things happen! Plants that need a little more TLC won’t cope too well being thirsty, so thankfully there are plenty of tough outdoor plants that will forgive your forgetfulness.
Our hardy, almost unkillable outdoor plants can survive quite happily through more challenging conditions, like high winds or low light. This makes them a good choice for those new to gardening.
Small outdoor plants
Outdoor spaces come in all shapes and sizes, from rolling lawns to compact courtyards. Opting for small garden plants is a great way to make the most of a tight space.
Small outdoor plants are the perfect way to spruce up a compact outside space in need of a little greenery. Given that your outdoor plants may be exposed to harsh conditions, such as high winds and shade, caring for small outdoor plants may seem tricky. Thankfully we have some that are super easy to care for.
Large outdoor plants
Large outdoor plants are a great way to introduce a touch of the dramatic to your space. Much in the same way as tall buildings, large outdoor plants help you achieve lofty ambitions, while taking up relatively little floor space.
Large plants might seem like a lot of work, but we have some that are super easy to care for and great for beginners. With relatively little work, they’ll elevate your garden with statement greenery and fabulous foliage.
Evergreen outdoor plants
Evergreen outdoor plants will keep their leaves all year round. From flowering plants to fruit trees, there’s a way to keep your garden green and serene.
Evergreen plants come in a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes. From gorgeous grasses to trailing beauties there’s an evergreen plant to suit any garden.
Outdoor plants for shade
While your outdoor plants will need at least a little sunlight, you don’t have to worry if you have a shady space. There are plenty of outdoor plants that are happy in low light conditions.
No plant will cope well with total shade, but if the sun only partially reaches your garden, these plants will be just fine.
