Default plants growing in gutters


wrote in message
...
Yes i know it is wrong but i love the look of plants growing out of
guttering in houses.

i have some sedums growing from a system underneath my guttering that
makes
it look like they are in gutters but can any of you suggest species of
plants that i should use for more colour.

thanks

ps a newbie so be nice.


If you go here http://www.myalbum.com/Album=FLRZ48SV and look at the picture
whereby we are asking for someone tall, you will see what stuff growing in
gutters can do. The theatre had not had any maintenance when "The Friends of
Shanklin Theatre" took over and because of the weeds in the gutter, water
had crept up under the lead flashing and capillary action took over. Gutter
cleared. Problem cleared.
