    Beautiful! Well done! I only have a balcony so I grow everything in pots too.. I do think it’s worth having a go with potting culture.. this year I’ve grown lupins in containers and although not much could be found online about lupins in pots they have turned out really well for me. 



    I’ve got sweet peas in pots too.. they are doing well but yet to flower, we shall see. 🙂

    I’m planning on growing dwarf foxgloves in pots next year too.

    Omg your balcony is stunning. The lupins look fantastic. I see you've lots of roses which are beautiful but I had no success with them. I think they need a lot of work.

    As you’re not certain that they’re a dwarf variety, I suggest that with a name like Jumbo they may not be.  But it’s just a thought ...

    I am thinking the same same, the name on the label was delphinium Blue Jumbo 6 Pack?

    Wow love the delphiniums such a beautiful Colour. My big one turned out to be a disappointing very pale blue, almost grey/white! Nice to see someone else embracing a pot garden too Celsius. Love your lupins.

    @Iswashere @Jacquimcmahon Thank you.. I find roses very rewarding and actually hasn’t required as much work as I thought.. it’s basically the annual prune, fertilising and deadheading during the flowering season. I love fragrant plants.. and my lupins (especially the white one) smell heavenly! 

    Jacqui have you got any pictures of your pot garden? Would love to see them and get some inspiration. :)

    I just put a few in the garden gallery thread.

    Thanks celcius but I was disappointed in the colour as I thought they were all blue but well so far I have purple, white, dusky pink and a blue purple.  Question though when the big flower fades do I have to cut off the big head. Seems very drastic. Jacqui any roses I bought all got riddled with green fly. I was constantly treating them.
