Plants for Pots & Perennials | HEDGE Garden Design & Nursery

Great plants for pots

I often try out plants in pots on my deck, to see how they go at close quarters. This is a nice way to get a bit of seasonal variety and to try out planting combinations - but they often outgrow their pot after a year or so and need to be planted out in the garden.

Here are some trusted plants that endure & we use long term in pots ......

Agapanthus	Agapanthus "Black Pantha"
Succulents Echieveria elegans	Foxtail Ferns Asparagus densiflorus "Myers"
Grasses Lomandra "Tanika"	Small growing topiary Japanese Box Holly, Ilex crenata "Helleri"
Slow growing topiary Boxwood, Buxus sempervirens & Buxus "Green Gem"	Ivy topiary Almost indestructible & great for shady spots. A good alternative to boxwood.
Mophead hydrangeas Can be kept pruned to size & shape
