14 Mailbox Garden Plants and Flowers

What color should mailbox be?

The USPS allows for the use of curbside mailboxes in any color. You can choose a traditional color like black, white or brown, or you can choose a more modern color like green, red or blue.

How do I install a new mailbox?

Position your mailbox 41″ to 45″ from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry. Place your mailbox 6″ to 8″ back from the curb. If you do not have a raised curb, contact your local postmaster for guidance. Put your house or apartment number on the mailbox.

How do you grow clematis in a mailbox?

Plant the clematis at least 1 foot from the wall and guide the clematis to the support with twine. If you plan to grow the clematis up a mailbox or lamppost, choose a compact variety and give it a chicken wire tube at least 4 inches wider than the diameter of the pole to climb on.

What can I plant around a lamppost?

Plant a climbing vine, such as clematis (Clematis spp.), at the base of the post. As the vine grows, train it to wrap around and grow up the light post. If the vine doesn't cling well to the post, you can tie the vine to the post with soft twine.

What do you need to make a flower bed?

Rules of Thumb for Brand New Beds:

  1. Work the soil when it is moist, but not wet.
  2. Turn the soil over to a depth of at least 12 inches.
  3. Add 2-3 inches of compost and turn it into the bed.
  4. Either cover the bed with a thick (3-4") layer of mulch or use a weed and feed to help keep weed seeds from germinating.

Does your mailbox flag have to be red?

The mailbox may be any color. The carrier signal flag can be any color except any shade of green, brown, white, yellow or blue. The preferred flag color is fluorescent orange. Also, the flag color must present a clear contrast with predominant color of the mailbox.

Is it OK to put outgoing mail in your mailbox?

Should You Send Outgoing Mail from Your Mailbox? Briefly, no. If you are sending checks, bill payments, or anything with sensitive information that can be used for identity theft, we always recommend bringing it to a blue USPS collection mailbox or directly to the post office. Better yet, use online bill pay.
