Suggestions please for large pot.

I have a large white Heritage pot and last year I planted lavender, a grass (in the centre), evergreen trailing plants and winter flowering violas. It has been beautiful all year, so far.

You have a flower palette?
Does anyone else?

No! I just bung in (plant!) anything I like 😁

I don't do yellow or orange in the summer. Daffodils and primroses in spring are fine!

Yes! Blue, purple and pink!

Just a thought. We had a hydrangea in the soil but It never really flowered so we planted it in a big pot and it’s flowered ever since. Looks stunning. We got the erecatious soil it needs and away it went.

Evergreen Jasmine? Gorgeous, it will need training over a shape. I have one just near my French windows and the scent is lovely and it gives all round colour.

I have just potted up some good sized pots with herbs such as rosemary, thyme, lavender etc and interspersed with Mexican fleebane it will gain height and the latter will flower all summer Won’t mind a bit of drying out

Agapanthus are not evergreen but beautiful throughout the summer especially the blue ones. And you can plant bulbs round the edge for a spring display whilst the agapanthus rests and then the leaves appear again in the spring.

I have some pots of Agapanthus, some of which I grew from seed. I love them. The giant ones are a show stopper! They are just bursting into flower. I protect them over winter so the leaves remain.

I saw some beautiful hot pink Alstromeria in the village this afternoon and looked them up. They flower all summer until the frosts. Some die down in winter, others don't apparently. I will keep them in mind.

Salvia Rosmarinus ‘Mrs Jessopp’s Upright’? Would need to be in a sunny position…

They seem hardy too.

Azalea?
