    Hi image

    I think Red Robin needs to be planted in the ground - it grows into a small tree-size - your trough really wouldn't be deep enough

    Tell us more about your garden, the trough and what you want to screen.

    We have just built some raised beds 5m long by 1 m wide and we are also looking to grow a privacy screen. I went to a garden fayre last weekend and asked their advise they suggested to plant Red Robin or Laurel and to plant 3 shrubs to a meter(so I will need 15 in my 5m bed). I also want to plant lavender in front and they said these would grow well together.

    Hope this helps
