J52, I like Vinca, pity it is so unappreciated now . Seems like one tub with vinca and one with variegated ivy and a conifer smile

Blueberries flourish in tubs. They like a similar soil to rhododendrons (acid) and you will be able to harvest a crop. They also have striking autumn colours.

I have vinca because it's easy and grows well in all conditions (to include near the sea). The colour of the flowers is lovely, it trails beautifully, and wind does not bother.
