Enhance your covered patio with beautiful shade-tolerant plants.

Plants under an awning

Greening Your Covered Spaces

When you install a retractable awning, you drastically reduce the sunlight hitting your patio. This requires shifting your container garden to shade-loving varieties.

Top Choices

Consider Hostas, Ferns, and Coleus for beautiful foliage. For flowers, Impatiens and Begonias thrive under awnings and bring vibrant pops of color to your deck or patio.
