5 Plants To Give Your Property Kerb Appeal This Spring

Potted sweet peas are easy to grow in containers. Add a bamboo wigwam and they will climb upwards, bringing height, softness and colour to your doorway. Their fragrance helps create a welcoming atmosphere, and stems can be cut for vases indoors before viewings.

Daylilies are tough, reliable and easy to care for — ideal along driveways, borders or pathways. Their trumpet-shaped flowers add a bold splash of colour in shades from yellow and orange to pinks and reds, with very little effort.

Planted in pots near the front door, lavender frames your entrance beautifully. Its soft purple tones and calming scent help create a relaxed feel during viewings, and it suits many property styles with very little maintenance once established.

Hanging baskets instantly add colour and charm, and can come with you when you move. Choose bright, easy-care flowers like lobelias, begonias and petunias — just keep them watered and tidy.

A 'spiller' trails over the pot's edge (ivy), a 'filler' of lower plants fills the middle (petunias, lobelias), and a 'thriller' is a taller statement plant (ornamental grasses, canna lilies). This creates a balanced, professionally styled container by your front door.
