New Pot

Hi All.
I am in trouble again I could not resist a new container ,well secondhand really,I got it for a fiver. Trouble is it looked smaller in the photo that in really is!!!
Wifey was not pleased and I have been completely banned from buying any more pots ,at my peril.
I thought it would be good for annuals but too big to waste on annuals. It measures 16" (40cm ) internal and height is also 16" (40cm). So I am trying to talk my way out of trouble by saying a nice shrub or perennial. I have been told it has to be summer flowering, so got to start looking at websites for something. I thought perhaps another hardy fuchsia as they always go down well. I will have to be quick to search & buy something before the season gets too late.Something bushy flowery and about 3 feet tall I think would fit the bill.

 

Love the pot and what a bargain!

Hydrangea? A blue one would compliment the pot colour

 

Keeping on the blue theme, how about a Caryopteris, Heavenly Blue is a good one.
