What are the best flowers or small shrubs to grow in our pool area?

Where they going to be planted outside the gate or inside?

The area looks beautiful already!! But I would consult with a locally owned nursery for their suggestions for your zone. Also you don't want something that sheds a lot and gets in the pool.

It looks like you have enough of everything in there already!! Why did you dogpen your pool in, meaning putting the fence so close around your pool? That is why it looks so crowded.

Your local nursery will not only know best, but give instructions and usually guarantee your plants. I would go for 'dwarf perrenials' that flower all season into the Fall.

if you are looking for something around the outside, I would suggest boxwood shrubs. They are green year-round and will help to add a little privacy to the pool area.

Some palm trees in pots.

Sega palms! Where do you live?

Hello Sanirab; If your pool area were mine, I would start by adding some flowers in pots.

I would also purchase some Cider trees. These can be used to make a hedge, and would look lovely with what you have already. Lastly, something tropical would be a very nice addition!!!

I hope that this helps you!! Take Care.

Research perennial grasses for your area

Gotcha........look into Nursery's on Google, they'll let ya know what to plant...Good Luck!!
