Default Plants for an open porch.

Would Heathers in pots appeal or perhaps some of the smaller bulbs? Good
Luck Alma.

Met a lady last week who has a new completely glass sided porch facing S.
with two 1ft wide raised beds on either side. The porch does not have a

door
protecting it from the elements so will be cold in winter (although

probably
frost free due to heat loss from the house) but dry and will only get

windy
if a southerly, it's in Essex. Lady is enthusiastic but only just getting
into gardening from what she told me so flowers are probably a must.

I thought ....

1. Cacti and/or succulents...... but spines may be a problem for visitors.
2. Alpines...... a bit specialist perhaps?

Any suggestions for permanent plants for such a position?
