When rehabilitating soil in an outdoor plant box, selecting the right plants is crucial for long-term success. Rehabilitated soil often lacks nutrients and structure, so hardy, low-maintenance plants are ideal. Here are some top choices:

1. Lavender: Thrives in poor soil, requires minimal water, and attracts pollinators.

2. Clover: Fixes nitrogen in the soil, improving fertility over time.

3. Sunflowers: Deep roots break up compacted soil while adding organic matter.

4. Yarrow: Drought-resistant and enhances soil health with its deep roots.

5. Marigolds: Natural pest deterrents that also enrich the soil.

These plants not only adapt well to rehabilitated soil but also contribute to its ongoing restoration. For best results, combine them with organic compost and mulch to accelerate soil recovery. Sustainable gardening practices, like crop rotation and companion planting, can further boost your outdoor plant box's health.

By choosing resilient species, you’ll create a thriving ecosystem that supports both plant growth and soil regeneration. Happy gardening!
