Trailing perenials

[OlympicTeaDrinker]

Ok when all the lobelia dies off this I want to plant something in the pots that will be there permanently.

The pots are along a low 3ft wall and it gets a lot of sun.

I don't want boring fuchias sorry.

Something that flowers well in the summer months.

Any ideas anybody?

trailing geraniums are lovely

The thing about perennials I find is that they spread quite a bit while underground hibernating, also that the pots will be bare in winter.

some of these look nice too

How trailing does it need to be? I've got cerastium trailing over the edge of my sleeper wall but it doesn't drop down very far, certainly not 3 feet. Are you aiming to cover the whole wall?

sorry slow replies we've been busy here.

It doesn't have to cover the wall no.

I'm assuming that because they will be in pots thay can only spread so far.

I really like the Ivy leaf geranium and they're pretty hardy too aren't they.

I'm bored of clematis and they can be slow growers too.

I love love love Cerastium.

I think it will be that with two different types of geranium.

Thank you

All geraniums are not winter hard in this country, although my neighbour had some against his south facing wall under a carport transparent roof, with his garage and my fence as protection too, I must add. They managed to survive until the last few years hard frost but that killed them. I always overwinter my geraniums in my covered carport/leanto. Apart from ivy, which is indistructable, I know of no flowering trailing hanging basket plant - hardy fuschia's need to be in the ground and don't really trail. Sorry

Campanula will trail and is hardy.
