line it with plastic which will help and stand it off the floor .... it wont last for ever outside but will look fab with plants in .... just thinking what quircky plant name would suit growing in here .....

Spruce

 

Looks great! How about something that can tumble over the edge - trailing ivy leaf geraniums or nasturtiums maybe?

 

Very nice Woo, but I would have left the top on and perhaps varnished it. I agree with @Clare G about Ivy Leafed Geraniums or Mini Nasturtiums with something taller in the middle, ie, a Zonal Geranium.

 

Wedge the top open Woo. I have my wood logs )and old papers) in similar with the top wedged open, for effect. I like Snow in Summer but is it a bit invasive?

 

Aaah...snow in summer - I want something really invasive for a bare border by greenhouse.

 

I love Cerastium (thank you for telling me its posh name!)! Very fond memories of growing it on the various scraps of garden I was allowed to work, from an original cutting from our neighbour. I think I will have to treat myself to a plant, and a visit to a garden centre, when I’m next in the UK. (And I pass Pengethly on the way....!)

 

Cerastium ( around here known as " White Rock " ) is one of my favourite plants. All year round interest with beautiful foliage and lovely flowers.
I'd go with you on that @wiseowl . You could grow things through it for summer contrast. I grow a purple Salvia and a pink Fairy Rose through mine.

@Victoria , how can it be invasive in a confined space?

 

Hi JJ28 ,it makes really excellent groundcover.

 

Will snow in summer grow in containers?

It depends on the size @Jack Sparrow . I've grown it on the edge of containers with a minimum of 12/18" and let it trail over the sides, also in hanging baskets and wall halfbaskets

 

@KFF I have some trees in big pots I would like to underplant.
