Lavender
This product was recommended by Kyle Kroeger from Via Travelers
Lavender plants are a great low maintenance option for the front area of your home. They are drought tolerant plants that don’t require a lot of watering, making them perfect for those who live in dry climates or people whose homes are vacant because of travel like us. The Lavender plant is also a slow growing plant, meaning it won’t take over your pots, and is an evergreen.

Petunias
This product was recommended by Davin Joseph from My Enamel Pins
Petunias are a great option for plants to place outside your front door because they come in a variety of colors, they’re easy to care for, and they attract butterflies. You can choose petunias in shades of pink, purple, red, white, or yellow. They grow best in full sun but will also do well in partial shade. To keep your petunias looking their best, water them regularly and fertilize them once a month. You’ll also want to deadhead (remove) the flowers as they start to fade. Butterflies love petunias! So not only will you enjoy their beauty while you’re outside enjoying your flower garden, but you’ll also get to see some beautiful creatures up close as well.
Wax Begonia
This product was recommended by Luke Fitzpatrick from Drsono
The best plants for the outside front door are those that are easy to take care of and that don’t require a lot of sunlight. A good option is wax begonia, which can be bought at most nurseries. Wax begonias need moist soil but don’t like standing water, so make sure to give them a good watering and then wait until the soil is dry before watering again. They also need exposure to at least four hours of direct sunlight per day.
Lemon Tree
This product was recommended by Christel Oerum from Diabetes Strong
While citrus trees do need to be brought inside during the colder months, especially if your area gets lots of snow, they are the perfect accompaniment for front doors that get plenty of sunlight! This is because they actually prefer being grown in pots to large amounts of soil in backyards – and if you care for them well enough, you will end up with some gorgeous lemons to use in your cooking.

Boston Fern
This product was recommended by Brett Robinson from Wired Clip
I would recommend investing in a Boston Fern outside of the front door because they are a low-maintenance plant – which means that they don’t mind if they are left without some water and attention for a couple of days. While most plant lovers will attend to every single one of their plants throughout the day, it can be easy to forget the ones growing outside the front of your home because they just aren’t seen as often! Boston Ferns are happy in most conditions, and they are certainly a striking plant to have as an introduction to a home.

Make your front door look classic and more structures with Boxwood Wintergreen. The foliage is abundant, which is perfect for cutting styling.

I treat it as a bonsai resemblance giving me unlimited plant design and decorating options. Because I reside in a cold climate, this plant is perfect for my front porch as it resists cold temperatures.

Umbrella Tree Plant
This product was recommended by Laurice Constantine from Casadar
Bright indirect light and warmer temperatures are preferred by the umbrella tree. You can shape it however you want, but make sure to rotate it on a regular basis because it grows toward the light and bring it indoors when temperatures begin to drop.
Gerold’s Spurge Euphorbia geroldii
This product was recommended by Abigail Richards from Tech President
Gerold’s Spurge is one of the few plants that still can grow beautifully even if planted in full sun, shaded, or a rockery environment. They are originally found in Madagascar but have been bred to grow in tropical and other countries because of their beautiful flowers. They produce small, pink-clumping flowers, adding color to a rockery. With that, they are good plants to grow in this kind of area.

Marigolds are old-fashioned annuals that come in various cheery colors, such as gold and orange. The best option is to stick with taller varieties. These beauties survive the heat and dry spells, blooming until frost, so they’re about the perfect low-maintenance flower.
Citrus Tree
This product was recommended by Zephyr Chan from Better Tools
People usually think they need a huge backyard to grow an orange or lemon tree. However, they do not. In fact, the best place to grow this plant is right next to your front door. Just make sure that the spot has direct access to sunlight and is wind-protected. During winter, you will have to cover the plant with mulch to protect it from freezing.

It can grow in the shade and sunlight. So, you won’t have to worry about your plant wilting, no matter what the weather is. Just don’t let it stay outside in harsh winters.

These plants are low-maintenance so they are perfect for placing outside the front door – they always look good! They stand very tall and wide, so make sure you have lots of space! We love the sense of chicness these Areca Palms add to our home, so long as our kids don’t hit them with golf balls (which may have happened once or twice), then these plants impress all of the neighbors!
Sweet Alyssum
This product was recommended by David Scott from Neutypechic
This perennial with low growth produces tiny, honey-scented blooms, making it a lovely plant. Although sweet alyssum looks beautiful pouring from pots, make sure it receives enough sunlight so it may bloom continuously. It shines on its own; but you can even add it with taller plants. Although light shade gives good results, a full sun is best for sweet alyssums. Grow at border edges, in pots and window boxes, on banks, rockeries, or at the edges of vegetable beds. It’ll definitely make the outside of your front door look amazing.
