If the OP hasn't been totally scared off, I would have suggested Agapanthus 'Navy Blue' or similar; I'm shocked at how tolerant of neglect mine have been, in a hot dry south-east facing spot.
"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour".
The problem is - we've no idea what size the pot is, despite us asking. It could be 6 inches wide...or it could be 2 feet. I think the OP has already decided growing anything isn't going to happen though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
if you if you are still reading this & still keen I have to grow things in pots as I don’t have much border space, I have a little box bush (Buxus) that is cone shaped it’s in a fairly big terracotta pot and I’ve never changed the compost. It’s green all year round and i put fairy lights on it at Christmas ! I do make sure I water it if it’s not rained for a week or if very hot I’ll water it daily. It’s quite shady with a tree nearby though. You can often get them in Lidl or Aldi quite cheaply. The pot is prob the size that would take half a bag of compost. So about 25-30L ? Ish hope that helps give you another idea. It’s nice to look after a plant especially if there’s not much greenery nearby & you can just keep an eye on it each time you go in & out.
7. Wee odd threads like this are brilliant for ideas. Thank you everybody. I'm having 'deadish' issues with my Skyrockets and may well move/replace them. Lots of great ideas here.
