l4ml4m Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 hello, I am wondering which plants in pots will give nice flowers ? I often see in gardens a very nice plant with yellow flower that seems to grow easily (my dog has been watering one for months and it still grows very well), do you know what it is ? What else do you recommend please ? Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Sounds like Allamanda. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KarenBravo Posted January 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think just as important as a prodigious flowers, you first need to tell us if these pot plants are going to be in shade, or full-sun. Depending on the answer, plant names can be then recommended. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbour's wall has the same: But the yellow ones don't have much of a smell. I'm sure he has others that are more red and that do have a nice fragrance. But that part of the wall currently has no flowers. You could always get some bougainvillea (with or without cat): 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KarenBravo Posted January 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2021 Bougainvillea must have full sun, otherwise, it'll just grow more leaves. Allamanda also likes the sun, but will tolerate some shade. It's a hardy, drought-proof plant (like Bougainville) which is why it's so common. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a variety of Ixora (there are hundreds) would thrive. Type Ixora into Google Images. You'll recognize the flower as it too, is very common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak2002003 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Periwinkle. Many different colours and tough as old boots. Flower all the time with bright flowers. Tough and almost impossible to kill. Can grow in full sun or partial shade. Drought tolerant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flower all the time with bright flowers. Tough and almost impossible to kill. Can grow in full sun or partial shade. Drought tolerant. Very true. The Madagascan Periwinkle is like a weed. Once you have some, it spreads everywhere. You pull one up by the roots and three more plants start growing. It'll be OK in a pot on a balcony, but, I'd seriously think twice about planting in the ground (like I did) within a garden. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several varieties with different colours. Very common in Thai homes as it's believed that this plant brings "good luck". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 For flowering pot plants maybe Marigold or Cosmos. Are you located in Bangkok? I recommend Chatuchak plant market. Common flowering plants might cost you around 20 Baht per pot. You can try out your luck and the plant habitat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
