    Nasturtium spread and climb but are only an annual. A hardy Fuschia would work although you'd have to be careful in your choice as some can get fairly big.:snork:

    I went to B&Q yesterday and they had a lot of "2 for £" specials so I bought 2 potted lillies and 2 fuschias. Each of the lillies had 3 in the pot and I ended up only using one pot. I need to get some decent soil and replant the other lilly into my big planter for the back garden. It will add a wee bit of colour out there.

    Were the Fuschias the hardy shrub type, Snowbaby, or the tender bedding type??:scratch::snork:
