Default Trailling plants in winter baskets

I finally remembered to get the name of the little blue flowered
trailer. It's Veronica peduncularis Georgia Blue and it flowers in
winter but even better as spring comes along. The other trailers are
ivy and Lamium. Most of the winter baskets are the wicker cone types,
so seeing the container isn't as unattractive as just seeing bare green
plastic!


I have Georgia blue (discovered by Roy Lancaster). It trails over my
gravel and makes a sort of lawn which doesn't need mowing!
