Topiary Alternative

know why they die? I should have thought box would be quite happy there. Agree about the artificial stuff. The green's not very realistic to start with and doesn't improve with time. My first thought was to grow a shade tolerant clematis up an obelisk by Planter2

Saint or sinner?.....don't like annuals

. Apart from veg, nearly everything in my garden is a perennial with the majority grown from seed (which can be a bit challenging, but I like that aspect!) I do grow a few annuals, but mostly for fragrance and to plant-up a few containers and baskets by Verdun

Ground cover plants - suggestions

for any advice you can give. Kevin. You can grow Ivy as a ground cover, it would be hardy and thick like a carpet and take all sorts of abuse. Vinca might work. Vinca Minor is said to be less invasive than Vinca Major. It has pretty blue flowers. Vinca by Kevin
