We just moved from the east coast. What container flowers/plants do you recommend for a west facing deck?
Welcome to the Bay Area and away from east coast winters. The only issue is what you can't put into containers. There is a vast array of plants to choose from. My favorite go-to plants are succulents. I like to choose Aeoniums for height, echeverias, kalanchoe paddle plant and Crassula for a bushy shape and then sedums, sempervivum, senecio and ice plants to trail over.
For color, I like to go with lavenders, salvia, kangaroo paws, agastache and lotus or calibrachoa to trail over. These are drought tolerant as well. Use a large pot and soil moist granules for less watering. An added bonus is that most of the plants for color attract hummingbirds. You can even mix the succulents with colorful plants; all like the same light and have similar watering requirements. Hope this helps.
