Outdoor plants for your garden or patio

Do you dream of a Mediterranean summer in your own garden, or would you rather surround yourself with Caribbean vibes? From large palm trees to small olive trees, green, red, narrow or wide, the outdoor plants from Green Bubble put you in a summer mood straight away. Whether you have a balcony, terrace or garden, we have the perfect plants for outdoors: not just beautiful but hardy too, so they come through the colder days without any trouble. For plant lovers in cooler climates that is a real advantage.

Not blessed with green fingers? No problem! Our palm trees and olive trees are incredibly easy to look after, so you can enjoy your new green friends without a care. One thing to watch: some outdoor plants are not suitable for children or pets, so do check before you give them a spot in your garden.

The Green Bubble range of outdoor plants

Our range of outdoor plants offers a broad selection of Mediterranean and exotic plants that turn your garden, balcony or terrace into a summer paradise. From sturdy palm trees to graceful olive trees and colourful flowering plants, our plants are carefully selected and lovingly cared for. At Green Bubble you will always find the perfect plant for what your garden needs.

Flowering outdoor plants

If you are after colour and scent in your garden, flowering outdoor plants are the perfect choice. The Bougainvillea is a beautiful plant whose vivid purple and pink flowers brighten up any garden. The Nerium Oleander is another gorgeous bloomer that will make your garden shine, with its large, colourful flowers in white, pink or red.

Hardy plants for outdoors

Do you want to enjoy a green, welcoming garden all year round, even in the coldest winter months? Then hardy plants are the ideal choice. The olive tree is a popular option: it radiates Mediterranean charm and shrugs off harsh winters. Another hardy favourite is the Yucca Rostrata, known for its rugged look and spiky shapes. For a tropical touch, go for the Trachycarpus Fortunei, also known as the hardy palm. This palm tree takes temperatures as low as -15°C in its stride and keeps looking impressive whatever the season.

Low-maintenance outdoor plants

No green fingers, but you still want a green garden? Low-maintenance outdoor plants are the answer! These plants need little care, so you can enjoy your garden without spending hours looking after it. Think of the olive tree, which stays beautiful for years on minimal attention. Or how about a Cactus Opuntia? This plant barely needs any water. Low-maintenance plants make it easy to create a gorgeous garden without having to be busy with it all the time.

Large outdoor plants

Do you have a roomy garden, terrace or balcony with an empty corner that could use some atmosphere? Our large outdoor plants are perfect for filling those gaps and making an instant statement. Large plants bring volume and height to your garden, and they create a luxurious, welcoming feel too. A lush bamboo plant, for example, can be the perfect answer to an empty corner.

What are the benefits of outdoor plants?

Outdoor plants are not just a beautiful addition to your garden, terrace or balcony, they bring plenty of practical and health benefits too.

• More biodiversity: outdoor plants attract all kinds of useful creatures, such as birds, bees and butterflies, which makes for a healthier, livelier environment.
• Instant atmosphere: plants give any outdoor space character and warmth straight away, whether that is a garden, a terrace or a balcony.
• Less stress: caring for plants and being surrounded by greenery has been shown to have a calming effect and can help reduce stress.
• Better air quality: plants help filter out harmful substances and raise the oxygen level in the air.
• Shade and privacy: large outdoor plants can provide natural shade and shelter, which gives you more privacy in your outdoor space.

How do you care for outdoor plants?

Looking after outdoor plants is essential to keep them healthy and beautiful, whatever the season. Here are the main things to think about:

• The right spot: pay attention to what your plant needs. Put sun-lovers somewhere sunny, while other plants do perfectly well in partial shade.
• Watering: find a good balance. In hot, dry spells plants need water more often, but do not let the soil stay soaking wet, because that can cause root rot. Use pots with good drainage.
• Plant food: give your plants plant food regularly, especially in the growing season (spring and summer), so they stay strong and healthy.
• Pruning: remove dead leaves and branches to encourage your plants to keep growing and flowering.

Care in extreme weather

• Heat: water your plants in the morning or the evening to limit evaporation. Move vulnerable plants into the shade for a while.
• Cold: protect plants that are not hardy with a protective cover. Move potted plants to a sheltered spot, such as a porch or a shed.
• Storm: put potted plants somewhere out of the wind and make sure large plants are firmly anchored so they cannot blow over.
