A Tall Lanky Container

October ©2003
Green container

What do you do with a tall, skinny container? My answer was to extend the height even further, keeping the selection of plants to just two varieties. It was planted as a winter container in autumn, with one Carex comas 'Bronze Form' and three Sedum lineare 'Variegatum' surrounding its base. The container passed the time in winter on the front porch, standing guard over the front gardens.
