Tall potted plants can turn ordinary container gardens into works of art. They add height, variety, and drama to mixed containers. But grouping plants in containers takes a little finesse. The general design concept for containers is "thrillers, spillers, and fillers." In other words, combine a tall (thrilling) focal point plant with something that spills over the side of the container to soften the lines. Finish with rounded, mounding filler plants in between to make the container look full.

Virtually any plant is good for a large pot under the right conditions. And some plants can even survive the winter in a container if they are hardy to your growing zone. It's recommended that you do not put rocks at the bottom of a planter, as this can impede drainage. If you need to fill up a large planter space because your plants don't require soil stretching the planter's full depth, you can use plastic bottles, crushed aluminum cans, Styrofoam blocks, and even smaller plastic pots turned upside down. Always make sure water is still able to drain from the container.

Here are 20 of the best tall plants to grow in a container garden.

Tip

Make sure the container is heavy enough to anchor the plant and prevent it from toppling over in windy conditions. But at the same time, you might want to position the container on a plant caddy before filling it, so you can still move it easily once it becomes heavy.

Choosing and Combining Plants for Container Gardens

If you garden in a warmer hardiness zone, you can't go wrong with a large succulent as your focal point. And even if you live in a cooler climate, you can always grow a succulent as an annual or bring it inside for the winter. There are many agave species to choose from in a wide range of sizes and appearances. Several commonly grown varieties reach a few feet in height and width. Agave can thrive in a relatively shallow, unglazed clay pot with excellent drainage. It prefers gritty soil, such as a cactus mix.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 11
- Color Varieties: Foliage of greens, blues, and grays
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Sandy, well-draining

A tall amaranth, such as love lies bleeding (Amaranthus caudatus) or Joseph's coat (Amaranthus tricolor), can add color and drama to a container garden, reaching heights of 2 to 4 feet. Choose a container with adequate drainage holes because amaranth likes to be moist but does not like to sit in water. These are annual plants, so you will either need to start seed early or buy plants every year. But the nice thing about annuals is they allow you to experiment and be creative.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 2 to 11
- Color Varieties: Foliage of greens, reds, purples, and yellows
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Average, moist, well-draining

Using an evergreen as the centerpiece of a container garden is elegant, classic, and low-maintenance. Choose one that will hold its shape nicely without a lot of pruning. A good option is 'Emerald Green' arborvitae, a semi-dwarf cultivar that grows in a narrow pyramid shape about 7 to 15 feet tall. Plant it in a large pot with high-quality soil, and it should live in your container garden for many years.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 2 to 7
- Color Varieties: Deep green
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Loamy, moist, well-draining

Bamboo can be a nightmare in the garden, spreading faster than you can control. But in a container, bamboo is a conversation piece. Some types prefer more temperate climates while others like heat and humidity. It's the clumping varieties of bamboo, as well as the ones with smaller runners, that do best in containers. They might not grow to their fullest potential, but some still can reach heights of 10 to 20 feet. Just make sure you use a container with adequate drainage holes, as soggy soil can inhibit the plant's growth.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 4 to 11
- Color Varieties: Green, yellow-green
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Loose, slightly acidic, well-draining

Big bluestem is a lovely ornamental grass that can adapt to a container. If you are combining it with other plants, use a large container or big bluestem will crowd out its neighbors. This grass can grow about 4 to 6 feet tall with a spread of 2 to 3 feet. Make sure you don’t overwater or add too much fertilizer to big bluestem, as this can cause it to flop. Likewise, too much shade can result in poor growth, so place the container where it will receive at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 4 to 9
- Color Varieties: Purplish spikelets
- Sun Exposure: Full sun
- Soil Needs: Average, medium moisture, well-draining

Bougainvillea is only hardy in USDA hardiness zone 9 and higher, but you can opt to grow it as an annual or bring it indoors for the winter. It's technically a vine, not an upright plant, so you will need to provide some support for it to grow vertically. Still, it's a vigorous grower, and its blooms look stunning crawling up a wall or trellis.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 11
- Color Varieties: Purple, red, orange, yellow, pink, or white blooms
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Humusy, acidic, well-draining

Boxwood shrubs can be formal or funky. The real fun of using this plant is you can trim it to be anything you want. If you would like to exercise your creative flair, try a boxwood topiary. When unpruned, it can reach heights of about 5 to 15 feet. Choose a pot with good drainage because boxwoods can suffer from root rot. Also, a little shade during the hottest part of the afternoon is preferable.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 8
- Color Varieties: Dark green to yellowish-green
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Loamy, evenly moist, well-draining

With their large, showy flowers, canna plants can add an instant tropical flair to a container garden. In most zones, this plant is an annual, but you can attempt to carry it through the winter indoors in a sunny spot. On the plus side, it will flower multiple times throughout the summer, and its cultivars grow from about 2 to 6 feet tall. Cannas need lots of water and actually prefer wet feet, so be vigilant about keeping the container moist.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 8 to 11
- Color Varieties: Yellow, orange, red, white, or pink flowers
- Sun Exposure: Full sun
- Soil Needs: Rich, slightly acidic to neutral, moist

Dracaena plants can grow upwards of 10 feet tall in containers, and there are many varieties to choose from. They are not hardy and need to be moved indoors for the winter. In fact, many gardeners choose to grow them solely as houseplants. When grown outdoors, they are fairly low-maintenance and can handle somewhat shady conditions that many other plants can't tolerate.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 10 to 11
- Color Varieties: Foliage of green, blue-green, burgundy, gold, or gray
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Rich, moist, well-draining

The dwarf Alberta spruce is a gorgeous conical evergreen with dense, bright green needles. It is a bit scratchy, so wear gloves when working around it. Choose a small tree when planting in a container. The term dwarf simply means it is slow-growing, but the tree can eventually reach 12 feet or taller. On the plus side, it can take 25 years to mature. This plant requires a delicate balance of even moisture and good drainage when grown in a container. If you live in a dry climate, you might have to water frequently.
- USDA Growing Zones: 3 to 8
- Color Varieties: Green
- Sun Exposure: Partial sun to partial shade
- Soil Needs: Sandy, loamy, or clay; moist; well-draining

Elephant ear manages to be both imposing and fun at the same time. The plant produces large, arrow- or heart-shaped leaves that some say resemble an elephant's ear, hence its common name. It reaches about 3 to 6 feet tall but only grows as an annual in most hardiness zones. When grown in a container, be sure to water the plant regularly because it likes a moist environment.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 8 to 10
- Color Varieties: Foliage of green, yellow, chartreuse, or black
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Rich, humusy, medium to wet

Feather reed grass is a cool-season grass, which means it is an early riser in the spring and blooms early in the season. After flowering, it remains upright and tall but not floppy or weepy like many other types of grass. It is perfect for the center of a container, growing from 3 to 5 feet. It prefers damp soil and can even tolerate poor drainage.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 9
- Color Varieties: Green to yellow-green leaves; yellow, pink, red, or white flowers
- Sun Exposure: Full sun
- Soil Needs: Average, medium to wet

Fountain grass looks good all season, with its burgundy leaves, spiky purple flowers, and purple-tinged seed pods. It has a wonderful way of swaying in a breeze and adds a rush of sound to your container garden. It also can make a good screen at 3 to 5 feet tall, giving you some privacy but still allowing sight lines. If you live outside of its hardiness zones, you can overwinter the plant indoors. Place the container in a relatively cool room with sun exposure, and water it sparingly. Bring it back outdoors once the danger of the last frost has passed.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 10
- Color Varieties: Shades of burgundy
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Average, medium moisture, well-draining

For a container in a shady spot, you can't do better than a fuchsia plant. These plants bloom throughout the entire growing season with no deadheading (removing spent blooms) necessary. Look for an upright variety, such as 'Baby Blue Eyes', 'Cardinal Farges', or 'Beacon', if you want it as a focal point. Fuchsia is susceptible to root rot, so be sure you select a container with adequate drainage holes, and use a fast-draining potting soil.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 8 to 10
- Color Varieties: Purple, pink, red, or white blooms
- Sun Exposure: Part shade to full shade
- Soil Needs: Fertile, moist, well-draining

Hibiscus plants look tropical, but many varieties are hardy in cooler climates. These multi-branched shrubs can easily be trained into flowering trees and grown in containers. Use a well-draining potting mix, and avoid a very deep container to prevent the plant from expending too much energy on developing roots. Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) can reach around 10 feet tall while rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) can reach 12 feet.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 11 (tropical hibiscus)
- Color Varieties: White, red, pink, orange, yellow, peach, or purple blooms
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Loamy, moist, well-draining

The mountain cabbage tree looks like a small palm tree and makes an intriguing focal point in a container. It is not hardy lower than USDA hardiness zone 9, but you can bring it indoors for the winter. Just be sure to keep the plant warm, and give it lots of sunlight. In a container, it will grow to about 3 to 6 feet tall with a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Trim back leggy stems when necessary.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 11
- Color Varieties: Greenish-white to purplish-brown blooms
- Sun Exposure: Part shade
- Soil Needs: Fertile, moist, well-draining

New Zealand flax is a spiky plant that can add color and interest to a container garden. With its rigid, sword-shaped leaves, the plant can reach 4 feet tall when grown in a container. Choose a rich, organic potting mix over regular potting soil for your container, and water the plant regularly. Bring it indoors to a sunny spot before the first frost if you live outside of its hardiness zones.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 11
- Color Varieties: Green, bronze, purple, pink, red, or orange foliage
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Average, evenly moist, well-draining

If you love a tropical look, princess flower—also known as purple glory flower—is a beautiful evergreen shrub with stunning purple flowers. The plant grows well in containers on sunny patios, though it should be brought indoors before the first frost. Also, place the container in a location that has some shelter from strong winds. Under ideal conditions, it can grow to about 6 to 8 feet.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 11
- Color Varieties: Purple
- Sun Exposure: Full sun

Bay trees are beautiful and functional: You can pluck fresh bay leaves right from your container. Bay trees grow slowly in a pot and can be pruned to maintain a manageable size of less than 10 feet. In its natural environment, however, the plant can grow as tall as 60 feet. You can trim it into a topiary or leave its natural shrubby shape. The plant typically grows slowly in a container and doesn’t mind being a little cramped. However, make sure you use a pot that’s sturdy enough not to tip over. Sweet bay is not hardy but overwinters well indoors.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 8 to 10
- Color Varieties: Yellowish-green blooms, deep green foliage
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Rich, moist, well-draining

Yucca plants are about as hardy as you can get, and the newer cultivars are pretty enough to be the focal point of a container garden. Even the smaller varieties still grow to roughly 2 to 4 feet in height and width, so select a good-sized container. They do not always bloom in containers, but many gardeners choose to cut off the flower stalks anyway and focus on the spiky foliage. Make sure you use a container with good drainage and avoid overwatering to keep the soil on the drier side.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 11 (depending on the variety)
- Color Varieties: White, pink, purple, or green blooms
- Sun Exposure: Full sun
- Soil Needs: Dry to medium moisture, well-draining

Tall Plants For Pots In Full Sun [15 Gorgeous Ideas You Should Try!]

Tall plants are great to give some cover. Creating a garden full of tall plants can be challenging. You must be able to prepare for the right conditions if you want to grow the plants to the desired height.

It is critical to get the right sun exposure. Most tall plants flourish well when in full sun.

Planting is tricky when you have limited garden space or no lot. One alternative is to plant in pots or containers that have limited soil. You can place the pots on the patio or deck to add to the landscape.

Both sun and soil are vital for plants to flourish. With the right plant, you can easily achieve delightful garden scenery. To give you some suggestions, we have gathered 15 tall plants to grow in pots under full sun.

1. Zahara Zinnia

You will love the vibrant blooms of this plant when under full sun. A hot-weather zinnia, this plant tolerates drought and has disease-resistant leaves. This type of zinnia is a mixture of colorful Zahara zinnias that will instantly add color to your garden.

The Zahara zinnia will grow 16 to 20 inches in height and width on average. The plant grows well in containers while making a tidy bunch.

On the pot, you will need a peat-based medium on the soil. Also, you must check the moisture level of the soil. To help the plant grow, add some slow-release fertilizer. Then use a water-soluble fertilizer during mid-season.

2. Diamond Frost Euphorbia

A euphorbia hybrid, the diamond frost has tiny airy white flowers that bloom all season. This perennial is low-maintenance while tolerating heat and drought. It can thrive in h2 or h3 climates. The plant has little to no supplemental water requirements.

You can grow this plant in garden beds, hanging baskets, or pots. It can grow about 12 to 18 inches and loves full sun. Deadheading is not necessary, but it needs some fertilizers regularly. It is a self-cleaning plant that is also pest, deer, and disease-resistant.

3. Mandevilla Vine

For a touch of the tropics, the Mandevilla vine adds bright blooms in shades of red, pink, or white trumpet-like flowers. The plant grows fast and is easily manageable. You can support its growth in a pot by adding a trellis.

The vine prefers full sun, and it is best to put the vine in pots to move inside to protect it from the winter winds. After winter, you can place the pots again outside.

Mandevilla will grow up to 20 feet in warmer areas but only around 5 feet in colder places.

To help the vine grow, add composted cow manure to a hole in the soil before planting. You need to fertilize the plant in the spring and fall with a good quality granular fertilizer.

Trimming during the warmer months will help the plant produce new leaves, but do not trim too much. Moreover, allow the plant to dry when watering at intervals.

With its continuous blooming, a supertunia petunia is an award-winning hybrid plant you can grow in pots. The pink blooms will surely be an upgrade for your garden.

It loves to stay under 6 hours of full sun. The plant is also heat and drought tolerant, which you can plant in zones 10-11.

The petunia will grow 12 to 20 inches when it is mature. You will need well-drained soil and just enough water. These grow well as fillers and spillers for your garden landscape.

5.

Calibrachoa

This popular annual plant will have nonstop bell-shaped blooms that grow well in pots, raised beds, or hanging baskets. The flowers offer a rainbow of colors that will add to the liveliness of your garden. The average height is around 6 to 12 inches.

The calibrachoa loves to stay under the sun for 6 hours and will also tolerate partial shade. The sun is vital for the growth of abundant flowers and maintaining the rich green leaf color.

If you are planting them in pots, choose a high-quality all-purpose mix that will drain well. Do not forget to water the potted plant daily because they dry out fast.

6. Dianthus

The dianthus requires low maintenance with clove-scented flowers that bloom in every color. Tall varieties such as the Sweet William or Carnation can grow as tall as 3 feet.

It also loves at least 6 hours of sun. The plant will produce fewer flowers or rot if it is under partial shade for longer. Regular watering is a must during the hot seasons.

7. Geranium Tall, Dark, and Handsome

The name can be unusual, but this geranium variety is the tallest among other geraniums. True geraniums will only grow to 2 feet, but the tall variety will reach up to 4 feet.

This geranium loves a sunny location. During summer, it is a must to deadhead to have more blooms.

You will need a climbing frame to support the growth upwards.

8. Angelonia

With their resemblance to snapdragons, most refer to the plant as the summer snapdragon. Although only averaging at 1.5 feet, the angelonia makes a good addition to garden bedding. It also thrives well in pots and window boxes. Moreover, they love the full sun and well-drained soil.

9. Tall Kangaroo Paw

With an average height of 2 to 6 feet, the tall variation of the kangaroo paw is an attractive element in your garden. Some tall options you can choose are Bush Sunset, Big Red, or Landscape Lila.

Colorful flowers bloom from spring to summer that nectar-eating birds love. That is why the plant is great to grow in decorative pots for vibrant scenery.

Position the potted plant under full sun to light shade while protecting them from strong winds.

10. Bamboo

A tall and sun-loving plant you can grow in your garden is bamboo. Potted bamboo will be at least 50 to 75% of its normal height. Also, the hardiness zone where you plant the bamboo influences its height.

It is good to put them in large pots to control spreading varieties. Running bamboo will only grow half of its natural height of 30 feet, while clumping types reach up to 10 feet only.

If you want a tall bamboo variety that grows in small containers like pots, choose P. vivax or P. dulcis, which can be high as 20 feet.

11. Passionflower

Another tall plant you can plant in pots is the passionflower. For a mature plant, its height is around 15- 30 feet. The tall varieties include passion vine, maypop, or the wild passionflower.

You can grow the flowers in pots. By doing so, you control its rampant growth.

Just bring them outside under a warm spot during summer. During colder months, place them indoors near a sunny window.

12. Plumbago

If you want another tall plant in your garden, choose plumbago. The potential height of the plant is around 6-10 feet. These tall plants are actually shrubs, but their branches are like vines.

The plant will tolerate drought and bloom beautiful blue flowers in full sun. You also need some pruning to allow for more growth.

Use a good potting medium such as a soilless mix with a neutral pH when planting in pots. Give enough room for the plumbago to grow in a pot.

Water the plant regularly and feed it with fertilizer every spring to achieve a tall height.

13. Sky Vine

As long as you add a trellis or a place near a pergola, the sky vine has a maximum height of 30 feet. The vine grows rapidly and gives pale to violet-blue blooms.

You start sowing the seeds in a small pot, then place it in full sun with regular watering. Its growth is vigorous in sunny conditions but with some protection in the striking afternoon sun.

14. Pentas

The average height of Pentas is 1-3 feet. It will bloom all summer and in hot weather. It is a good resting place for pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies because of its landing pads.

Pentas prefers the full sun. They will quickly dry, so you will need moist and well-drained soil. Water the plant when it is dry.

15. Dahlias

Widely known as a garden favorite, dahlias are suitable to grow in pots and under full sun. You get a variety of colors that will create the perfect garden landscape. Even in containers, the plant will grow to up to 6 feet.

The plant loves the full sun. If potted, make sure to have enough compost to aid growth. You might want to place the pots on a terrace or a balcony.

In Summary

You have many options for tall and potted plants that love the full sun. Your garden will look amazing if you know how to take care of the chosen plants.

Houseplants outdoors: harmful or beneficial?

Indoor plants can temporarily stop being indoor and move to the street. If you live in a private house, then be sure to take the opportunity to take the plants to the site. For many of them, this will be a great boost of energy and an opportunity to absorb sunlight.

Some flowers can be taken outdoors in the same container they grow in at home, others can be transplanted outdoors for the summer. But not all plants will react positively to this, so you need to figure out which flowers and when to take out into the fresh air, and which ones to leave at home. nine0003

What plants can be tolerated

Just because an indoor flower tolerates adverse conditions well and does not require complex care, this does not mean at all that it will withstand temperature changes and a sudden change of scenery. Therefore, you can endure only those plants that will definitely survive the stress.

Orchids, fatsheders, primroses survive the change of temperature best of all. Palm and succulents, as well as citrus trees, will survive the move well. Dracaena, aralia and some types of cacti can stay on the street for a short time. And Dieffenbachia, Decembrist, Alocasia or Monstera are forbidden to endure. These plants do not tolerate not only changing conditions, but they don’t even like moving from one window to another. Such stress can lead to illness and even death. nine0003

Dracaena

Dracaena can not only be taken out, it must be taken out into the open air during the warm season. But you have to create special conditions for it. It can only grow in the shade, if it is impossible to create permanent shading, then place the plant in an area where sunlight will be in the morning, at which time the sun will not burn the foliage. During the rest of the time, the plant must be protected from the scorching rays of the sun and drafts. In dry weather, dracaena should be watered and sprayed with water in a timely manner. nine0003
