Oh dear.
Thanks for the reply.
What about something that will be green in winter and something that
will
flower for the best part of the summer?

Mr Pounder

Where do you live? I recommend Euryops chrysanthemoides as it flowers
for
months on end and is evergreen but we lost it to bad frosts in a couple
of
spots in our garden last year. In a pot you could easily protect it
with
fleece. It will need potting on into a larger pot as it increases in
size
but is otherwise terribly easy to grow as it stops itself and needs no
pruning.

Lancashire.
Bad winter last year.
Thanks for the reply.

Mr Pounder

Then it might not survive with you but others who live in the area might
say differently. It will go down to -5C but not over long periods.
