Any ideas what I can plant around an Azalea that is in a pot. This planted in erricaseous compost.

    Pieris makes a very large shrub....

    Unless the pot's very big, I wouldn't put too much in there with it, unless you plan to remove it again as the azalea grows Margaret. The azalea will suffer from too much competition. Verdun's suggestion would be ideal but only if it's a big pot and a small azalea!  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Is Lisidora trailing please?

    It will drop over the sides of the pot Margaret - I don't think it's a trailing plant in the true sense of the phrase but it wall 'fall' if that makes sense  image

    I'm assuming it will get enough drainage as it's at the edges of the pot too. Azaleas don't like to dry out, but Lithodora likes sharp drainage.
