Trailing plant for trough planter

[Laurasanford111]

Hi all

I have two planters by the back door, wooden rectangular ones. I would love to plant lavender in them, I have a south facing garden. I like the wild and wonderful look so I'm after a trailing evergreen plant to spill over the sides? I thought about ivy but I already have a lot of that in the garden!

Thank you!

I'm sure people will have lots of ideas but just to start it off, how about something like a trailing Rosemary (pictured is Blue Cascade):-

@EmilyBrontesGhost wow I never knew you could get trailing Rosemary! What a great shout thank you!

Glad it was some help OP and good luck with your planters x

I was going to say Vinca but trailing rosemary is a better bet! Vinca doesn’t like drying out so might struggle in a s facing pot whereas rosemary will be happier.

Trailing rosemary, trailing thyme and lavender would be beautiful together

Will rosemary survive winter if left outside in a pot?

Yes, it should be fine.

The only thing the trailing Rosemary really doesn't like (apparently) is waterlogged soil. It needs to be well drained.

@EmilyBrontesGhost thank you!
