Friend has asked what conservatory plant she should buy. South facing, and
gets rather hot in summer but no specific heating in winter, only heat from
the house. Not gardeners but will follow instructions.
I suggested a Tahiti lime or Brugmansia, provided it spent the summer
outside. There are children though so the last one might be off limits.
Suggestions welcome please.


Bob unless its going to be shaded from the outside it will always be to
hot for plants, putting something deciduous and late into leaf on a frame
in front of it will make the space much more usable, Wisteria is ideal as
are grapes. Once you can reduce the summer peak temperatures then
Bougainvillea and Mandevilla are both faily fool proof, and I am rather
fond of Pandorea jasminoides Rosea superba, all climbers I am afraid!
