Lovely plant for a pot?

[Girliefriendlikespuppies]

Have just emptied a pot that had lupins in as the poor lupins had been devoured by green fly 😢

Amy suggestions for a nice plant to replace it with? Something fairly tough and that won't be eaten by green flies or slugs straight away??

Tough but pretty 😬😁

Hydrangeas flower all season and as long as they’re well watered.

Patio roses.
Heucheras.
Agapanthus.
Alstromeria.
Dwarf lavatera.

My garden is an absolute slug pit yet they don't touch my geraniums, I have lots in pots and they do very well.

how big is the pot?
and what's the location like (sunny, shady, sheltered, exposed?)

I have herbs in a pot. Currently the thyme is in flower and is lovely and the bees love it too. In a few weeks the oregano in the same pot will follow and also be flocked by bees. Both survive winter, the oregano dies back and needs a trim every spring but always comes back and the thyme is quite happy.

Here's a pic of the pot, I'd say medium sized.

It gets sun from around 11am until 6pm.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I already have quite a few geraniums, a herb pot sounds nice.

Agapanthus, I love mine so much and every couple of years divide them. Got 4 pots of them now they're stunning when they flower

I have planted some acapathus this year but they're not doing much at the moment 😕

I second the vote for a hydrangea, there's some really lovely, unusual varieties about that can flower for months. They're pretty low maintenance as long as you keep them watered.

I've got that exact pot - and it's got geum tangerine dream in it. Put it in last summer and it went great guns till about november and it's been brilliant this year from about 6 weeks ago. Looks fab against the colour.
