Hi, I’m looking for some advice please šŸ™‚

I have a very large terracotta pot in full sunshine that I would like to put an evergreen plant in that flowers. I currently have a Ceanothus in it, but it is not flowering and seems unhappy.

All suggestions very welcome šŸ¤—

How big is your pot? Shrubs like camelia and daphne may work but morning sun should be avoided. Check also hebes or osmanthus.

I have a bay tree (Laurus nobilis) underplanted with parsley. Evergreen and useful in the kitchen.
