Perennials for Pots Collection
Many gardeners grow plants in outdoor pots as they provide colour throughout the year and can be moved around into different spots when they are at their best. Few gardeners think to use hardy perennials, and this collection will provide a number of lovely herbaceous perennials such as hardy geraniums that don’t mind staying in pots. They have been selected for colour and will look their best when planted in groups within a large pot. When ordering, to save confusion, please take a note of the plants in this collection as by the time you receive them they may have changed. Featured plants run approximately from tallest (top left hand corner) to shortest (bottom right hand corner).
