The Most Beautiful Outdoor Plants Delivered by Your Local Florist

Outdoor plants brighten up balconies, patios, and gardens, transforming even the smallest corner of nature into a vibrant, flower-filled space. Grown to withstand the elements, they offer a vast selection— flowering plants, shrubs, herbs, and climbing plants—to suit every space and preference. At Sessile, your outdoor plants are selected and prepared by an artisan florist who delivers to your town. Depending on the season and available stock, the florist offers plants in pots or trays, ready to plant, chosen for their beautiful appearance and suited for outdoor growing—whether to decorate your home or to give as a gift.

Having outdoor plants delivered through Sessile follows the same process as a standard order. You enter the delivery address, see which florists serve that town, and then choose the plant you like from their catalog. The florist carefully prepares it, protects the foliage and pot for shipping, and delivers it in person on the date you’ve chosen. Our network covers all of France: the plant can be sent to wherever the person you’re thinking of lives. Sturdy and long-lasting, an outdoor plant makes a gift that lasts and grows. It’s perfect for anyone who loves gardening, decorating their balcony with flowers, or beautifying their garden.

In-store pickup remains a convenient option with no delivery fees, and it’s well-suited for plants. When you check out online, select “Click & Collect” and specify the pickup date; the florist will then notify you as soon as the plant is ready. This way, you can take a look at it before taking it home, assess its actual size and condition, and leave with a plant in top condition. It’s also an opportunity to ask the florist for advice on the plant’s placement, watering, or hardiness. This valuable guidance will help ensure it thrives once it’s planted outdoors.

An outdoor plant is a gift that lasts and evolves. While a bouquet of flowers is enjoyed for just a few days, a balcony or garden plant stays with its owner from season to season—sometimes for years. It’s a gift that delights both gardening enthusiasts and those who simply want to add some color to their patio. It decorates an outdoor space, catches the eye and attracts beneficial insects, and offers the joy of watching what you’ve received grow and bloom. It’s perfect for many occasions: a housewarming, a birthday, Mother’s Day, a thank-you gift, or a retirement celebration. Giving an outdoor plant is like giving a piece of nature that takes root and lasts.

There is a wide variety of outdoor plants to choose from, depending on the location and the desired effect. Flowering plants—geraniums, petunias, lavender, gaura, and dipladenia—bring color to balconies and patios allsummer long. Shrubs, such ashydrangeas, roses, bay laurel, or camellias, provide long-term structure to a garden or a large planter. Perennials return every year and require little maintenance. Herbs (thyme, rosemary, or mint) combine practicality with fragrance on a windowsill. Climbers (clematis, jasmine, or climbing roses) adorn a wall or pergola. Depending on whether your outdoor space is in full sun, partial shade, or full shade, your landscaper will guide you toward the varieties that will thrive best there.

Every outdoor space has its ideal plants. On a balcony, potted plants and those in planters are the best choice: annuals, small shrubs, and herbs, which are easy to set up even in limited space. A patio can accommodate larger plants—olive trees, bay laurels, grasses, and large flower pots—that create a real atmosphere. In the garden, anything is possible: shrubs, perennials, roses, and climbing plants planted directly in the ground. Growing plants in pots offers great flexibility, allowing you to add flowers to any space—even one with hard surfaces—and to move the plants as the seasons change. Your landscaper will take into account the size of your outdoor space and its exposure to recommend the right plants for you.

An outdoor space evolves and renews itself with the changing seasons. In spring, flowering plants and young seedlings take root: it’s the peak planting season. In summer, geraniums, dipladenias, lavender, and grasses provide color and blooms, provided they’re watered regularly. In fall, shrubs and perennials are planted, taking advantage of the still-warm soil to establish strong roots. In winter, a few hardy, evergreen plants such as boxwood, grasses, or hellebores keep the landscape alive, while frost-sensitive plants are protected or brought indoors. Your landscaper prioritizes seasonal plants, which are more vigorous and easier to maintain.

Outdoor plants require care suited to life in the open air. Exposure is key: follow the sun or shade requirements for each plant, as recommended by your florist. Watering is more demanding than for indoor plants, especially for potted plants, which dry out quickly: in the summer, you’ll often need to water them every day, preferably in the evening. Good drainage prevents standing water, which is harmful to the roots. Remember to remove wilted flowers to prolong blooming, and to repot or top-dress potted plants from time to time. Finally, watch for frost: hardy plants can spend the winter outdoors, but more delicate ones should be protected or brought indoors.
