sedum or other wild flowers f=growing in guttering
i know it is wrong as the gutters get blocked, but i really like the look of
plants growing in guttering. i have a idea how to make a false guttering at the front of my real gutter, but i really need some help in the way of suggestion for plants to grow in the gutter, ideally haning down. any ideas? |

Mostly you get yellow or white with the odd pink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedum The common stonecrop manages to get seeds up onto roof level requiring annual gutter maintenance even when they are growing on the ground. I presume birds or wind blown seed gets them up there. And every leaf you miss will regrow into a new plant... -- Regards, Martin Brown |
