Hi,
I am a bit of a beginner at this and was really hoping that someone might be able to suggest some plants for me: I am looking for plants: For containers Semi exposed to sun Need to look good all year round (foliage wise) Would be nice if were either colourful leaves or grey / silver That are hardy and will not need to be brought in in winter Any help really would be a great. Many Thanks R. |

Many Thanks R. You don't say where you live but small leafed ivies, miniature conifers, Phormiums come to mind. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Many Thanks I am growing Sempervivums and am thrilled with these unusual and pretty plants, they are cheap to buy and take little or no looking after, well worth a try kate |

Many Thanks R. Most silver.grey leaved plants like lots of sun. The more the better :~) Lavendar springs to mind, but I don't seem to have much success with it in pots.......maybe some else will ahvesome pointers on thsi? How tall do you want the plants to be? I have some links on my home page that migth be of use: http://members.rott.chello.nl/ldejag...ex.welcome.htm Jenny |
