What to plant in the pots?

Hi, I have two pots one at each side of the drive, I would like to put something in them that will stay nice all year round and can serve all weather, is there such a think?

 

A couple of black or yellow grove bamboos? What about a couple chusan palms. Can u tell im not very good with flowers

 

Well I'm not very good at knowing names! I will google them,

 

How big are the pots and which way will they be facing please Dianne?

 

Maybe 15" diameter and deep, facing east

 

Oh I like the chusan!

 

Just seen a lovely plant in the garden centre! Begonia with brown coloured leaves and orange flowers. Read the label but didn't buy as I'm unsure if they would last all year in a pot? Anyone know?

 

We have lemon cypress in the centre of our pots and pansies/violas round them from autumn until around May, then we put bedding plants round them. There is colour in the pots year round.

 

Hi, I like that idea. Thank you

 

Bamboo do so much better in the ground.

Chamaerops Palms are a good idea.
They are hardy and will be ok with the limited water a pot can provide, especially in the warmer months.

 

Thank you, I like these,do you think they will be ok through the winer?

 

Yes, they will
