summer planting ideas for top of terrace wall?
I have a sloping garden that is terraced near the top. The main terracing
consist of two walls, both of which are 5ft high and about 20 feet long. There is a small bed at the top of each wall where I' like to grow plants that would trail over the edge. Can anybody offer any planting suggestions? Both areas are in full sun all day, and I'd like something that is mid to late summer flowering. |

Prostate rosemary, Bacopa, Nemesia, Diascia, Nasturtiums, Clematis, Rosa 'The Fairy', Lithospermum, Bidens, Helichrysum, Nummularia. You could intersperse these with herbs because it sounds an ideal situation for those, assuming it's well drained. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon |
