Not sure what fits your light?

That is the part we do. Tell us where the planter goes and we design around the sun, the water, and your pets if that matters.

A word on toxicity

Every plant here carries a toxicity note. Where a plant is not listed by the ASPCA we say so rather than calling it safe. An absent listing is not evidence of safety, and a number of the plants here fall into that gap. Across the whole library, 22 of 102 are confirmed pet safe against a primary source.

If a pet eats part of a plant, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

We are in Greenville, SC, USDA zone 8a. Every outdoor call on this site assumes that climate.
