Container plants as a screen - these are hardy and opaque
With potted plants, privacy is guaranteed if planting in the ground is not possible at the site. Only when a plant is blessed with a height of at least 120 cm and an opaque leaves dress, it is one of the visual protection plants. The following handpicked selection introduces you to the most beautiful hardy potted plants that you shield on the balcony and terrace from prying eyes.

The most beautiful screens for cultivating in the bucket owe their hardiness to the fact that they discard their leaves in winter.

If the desire for a protection of the view of the beautiful season is limited, the following, deciduous ornamental shrubs fulfill this task with floral splendor:
In the bucket with integrated climbing aid, clematis (Clematis) and climbing roses (Rosa) brag about their imposing summer flowers over an impenetrable foliage. If a sufficiently high trellis is available, you can look forward to a screen of up to 300 cm in size.
Furious autumn spectacle with visual protection effect
The yellowish flower spikes in summer do not give any idea what the Royal Purple (Cotinus coggygria) willow leaves have in store for autumn. After all, the deciduous tree with its black-red leaves as a blind spot in the bucket is already useful in the summer time. From September to October, the plant enchants with silky-springy fruit stalks, which throne on the branches like little wigs.

Tips
For an all-round privacy, you provide a greened pergola made of wood. Trellises or trellises can be easily attached to posts. To ensure that creepers find their way to the rafters from the bucket, attach wire ropes to the crossbeams. The tendrils of climbing plants bind you with soft plastic bands or small rings.
