Outdoor walls
Living walls for facades, terraces and courtyards, with plants chosen for sun, heat and monsoon.
Last reviewed
Sun and heat
Plant choice depends on how much direct sun the wall gets and when. A west-facing wall in summer needs different plants from a shaded courtyard.
Plants that work outdoors
Outdoors, it depends on the sun. Dwarf ixora, alternanthera, purple heart and cuphea suit full sun, while rhoeo, mondo grass, chlorophytum and creeping fig suit part sun. We set the final list after seeing the light on your wall.
Monsoon and wind
We plan drainage for heavy rain, and check the fixing on terraces and upper floors, where wind is stronger.
Good for: Facades, entrances, terraces, courtyards and boundary walls.
