10 stone planters standing in a row...

[daffodilbrain]

And they are blinking heavy! My elderly neighbour kindly gave me them as he can no longer manage them. I'm lazy when it comes to watering pots however, is like to make an effort for his sake what can I put in them now? - really is like colour for all summer

I had begonias in a tub for a while, they didn't seem to mind a bit of neglect. You could also do something with coloured foliage, like phormiums or heucheras? How big are the pots?

They are about 40cm. Grey concrete but pretty design on the outside, on a pedistal

How about lavender and some trailing ivy? There are some tiny, delicate, variegated ivy plants that are low maintenance and won't take over too much.

Hebes maybe? And hosters could be nice as long as the tubs are slug proof.

Are the 10 planters identical? If so, they could look stunning lining a path or the front of your house, all planted with an identical shrub. Maybe box?

Ooh Elle I'm normally prefer a more lax /messy style but that looks lovely .

And Acorn thank you so much for saying that about ivy .I had no idea there were so many varities of ivy - quick google has inspired me

Yay sunny, you're welcome! I fight like mad with big angry marauding ivy in most of the garden, but the little delicate ones I love!

What did you go for in the end?
