What small leaved evergreen shrub do you recommend for a 30cm plastic pot? Must be frost hardy.?

Answer 1

Our sun rose (helianthemum) is hardy, and during summer gives a succession of soft petalled pink flowers with a yellow centre. Beautiful. Once the sun goes down the flowers close until it's light enough the next morning to encourage them to open; means the flowers last for that much longer.

Our potted hebe was covered in snow in March - it's covered in spikes of lilac flowers now. Another beauty

Answer 2

Boxwood is an ever green with small leaves and dark berries and hardy with frost. But I am going to suggest if you do plant it in a plastic pot come winter get pot and all in the ground or you will freeze out the plant. No matter what plant you choose. Plants need the protection of the ground so the roots do not freeze completely. If you can't bury the pot you can get a 3 cu. ft. of mulch tap it down to one area and mulch the pot that way to protect it. Happy planting.
