    Hi all, just bought these new planters, they get the sun all afternoon, what plant do you think I should put in that will come back every year?

                  Morning Flumpy. I don't know about planters there but how about some variegated Ivy with Heather or Euyonomus which would give colour Summer and Winter. The Ivy would give you the nice trailing effect. Looking forward to see what you do.
