If outdoor flower boxes are placed on roads, low plants should be planted in the flower boxes to avoid affecting pedestrians' sight and blocking traffic, and the growth and ductility of such plants should not be too strong, otherwise they need to be taken care of frequently, causing unnecessary troubles and increasing labor costs. Suitable plants for planting in these places are Gardenia microphylla and Rhododendron.

3. Plants that don't need regular care

Some outdoor flower boxes are located at or near the gates of government agencies, buildings, apartments and office buildings, so these flower boxes should be planted with some atmospheric flowers, which are generally Phalaenopsis or Chinese rose, and sometimes a variety of flowers can be combined, and some trees can be planted, which is also very atmospheric.
