Create a Beautiful Living Plant Wall Outdoors

A living wall planter is one of the easiest ways to add height, color, and texture to your garden without taking up valuable ground space. Whether you are working with a patio, fence, porch wall, or other vertical surface, wall planters make it simple to turn a plain area into a layered planting display. For gardeners who want a decorative, practical solution for small spaces, a wall mounted planting system can bring flowers, herbs, and foliage right up to eye level.

These living wall planters are designed for outdoor use and make it easy to build a custom living plant wall one planter at a time. Use a single wall mounted planter as an accent, or combine several to create a fuller vertical garden effect. This style of planting is especially popular for patios, balconies, courtyards, and garden rooms where space is limited but visual impact matters.

A living wall planter can be used with a wide variety of wall plants, including trailing flowers, compact annuals, herbs, colorful foliage plants, and small ornamentals. The side-planting design helps create a lush, filled-in look, making each planter feel fuller than a traditional container. This makes wall planters a smart choice for gardeners who want maximum color and coverage in a compact footprint.

If you are looking for a way to soften fences, brighten a porch wall, or add vertical interest to outdoor entertaining areas, wall planters offer a flexible and attractive solution. Group multiple planters together for a dramatic statement, or place them strategically around a seating area to bring your garden design upward as well as outward.

Frequently Asked Questions About Living Wall Planters

  • What is a living wall planter?

    A living wall planter is a wall-mounted container with a coco-fiber liner you plant through the front as well as the top, turning a fence, porch or exterior wall into a vertical garden. Pamela Crawford's Living Wall Planter is 14" tall x 14" wide x 5" deep and holds nine front plants, six side plants and three top edging plants. It is designed for outdoor use.

  • How do you hang a wall planter?

    Kinsman's Living Wall Planter includes J-Hooks for hanging. The hooks hold the planter away from the wall so air can circulate behind it. Tucking a plastic bottle cap or cork under the bottom corners holds those out from the wall too.

  • How many planters do I need for a living wall?

    One planter makes a strong accent, and several grouped together horizontally and vertically create a full living wall. Each planter is 14" square, so a grid of four covers about 28" x 28" before spacing. The Set of Four Living Wall Planters comes with coco-fiber liners, each in a color gift box.

  • What plants are best for a living wall planter?

    Trailing flowers, compact annuals, herbs, colorful foliage plants, small ornamentals and succulents all work well. As the side-planting design fills in, each planter fills out to create an attractive vertical floral display.

  • Do wall planters dry out quickly?

    Yes, a 5"-deep planter with a coco-fiber liner dries out faster than a pot or a garden bed, especially on a sunny wall. Check the soil often in summer. Rain Gel granules help the soil hold moisture between waterings.

  • What are living wall planters made of?

    The Living Wall Planter frame is made from steel wire bars coated in black plastic, with a 6.5 mm outer frame and 4 mm inner bars. It comes with a replaceable side-planting coco-fiber liner.

  • Can I replace the liner in a living wall planter?

    Yes. The coco-fiber liner is replaceable, and side-planting liners are best replaced each year, since the planting holes stretch as plants grow. Order the Pamela Crawford Living Wall Replacement Liner for the 14" square planter.
