Douglas Hunt on Mar 24, 2014I don't think philodendron or ficus will make it through a winter outside in Atlanta. It sounds like you have a good amount of room. How about a camellia in a large pot? You would have evergreen foliage and beautiful flowers in winter or early spring depending on the type.Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Mar 24, 2014To give you some green, I love putting hostas in pots and that way in the winter you can just leave them out with no worries. To leave in a pot for some height in shade, I would think about gardenia so you can have blooms and the intoxicating smell to enjoy while relaxing...Boxwoods like shade and do well in pots too and you can even shape them if you want. Depending upon how much room you have, you could even plant black eyed susan vine or morning glories in a pot with a trellis and use them as screens (if there is enough light. You could always pothos (philodendron) and hang above to drape and in the winter, cut back to the pot and bring in or take cuttings and put in water for over the winter. You have many choices..Good luckHelpful Reply
