Hanging Planters for Fences What types of plants are appropriate for use in fence planters? For plant containers which will be hung or fixed on fence rails, annual perennial types of flowers and plants are ideal because they grow all year long. Cascading types of flowers such as petunias, verbena, bidens, calibrachoa and chenille are perfect if you want to achieve a graceful “waterfall like” splash of color since these plants spill over the edges of containers as they grow. Wall shrubs and climbers are a top choice if you want to cover an entire perimeter wall or if you want to train vines to grow into your fence. Evergreen vines can make your fence look good all year round but they concentrate more on foliage such as the Persian Ivy, English Ivy, Boston Ivy, Creeping Fig and Carolina Jessamine. Flowering vines are also climbers but they offer luscious blooms. Some of its popular types will be discussed as you continue to read on our article.

Plants that prefer shaded conditions do well on north and east facing fences, although you should be mindful of what you introduce on your east facing veneer as the strong morning sun can damage frozen buds and leaves in winter. Evergreens are particularly vulnerable here and can easily become withered and browned. One of its properties include the ability to attract beneficial insects such as butterflies. Dutchman’s pipe prefers partial shade to full sun and requires a well drained moist soil and plenty of water.

If you are planning on doing DIY we highly recommend a post hole digger or a rabbit hole digger which is essentially a single shovel that has been designed to dig circular holes. The unique design enables the user to dig straight down to the ideal depth and keep the hole relatively narrow in diameter compared to a conventional shovel. Reclaimed wood, old wash tubs and tin milk cans are perfect fence planters for “ranch style fences” as they give off a rustic country vibe. Colorful petunias and other vibrant flowers add visual interest and make this fence flourish with curb appeal.

The planters are arranged in neat rows, highlighting their uniform shape and providing a visual break for the eye. Inside each planter are vibrant plants and flowers that add a pop of color to the space. To begin, we suggest digging the post hole so it is approximately three times wider than the fence post. For example, if you have a 3 inch wide post that you need to sit over 1.83m (6ft) in height above the ground, we recommend the hole size should be: 230mm [wide] (9”) x 600mm [depth]. This rule of thumb can be followed for all size posts (e.g. a 6ft high fence would require a hole depth of at least 600mm or 2ft). We do not recommend every post hole to be the same no matter the height of the fence post. Glaze ceramic plant pots and hanging fence planters serve as decorative accents for this patio. Hanging baskets with cascading flowers are placed at a height to allow the vines to flow and cascade freely.
