When I had a balcony I was tempted by shelves as a way as cramming more plants in, but I couldn’t quite figure what to do with them. But I see now that the trick is to fill them with the same type of plant in the same type of pot for maximum effect, as they do at East Ruston Old Vicarage.
At the moment I could fill this blog with weird planting combinations that should never be seen together – such as wallflowers and roses, shown here. Suffice to say that I saw daffodils and roses flowering on the same day, and I’m still recovering from the shock.
I saw wall flowers and forget-me-nots flowering in the same patch. I’m still not sure they went together but it was certainly a talking point.
Wallflowers and forget-me-nots are a pretty popular combo! Thanks for your comment. I like your blog.
