Suggestions please for a large planter

Fens : Thanks for the suggestion. It's a good idea but the planters are way too heavy for me to be moving them about. I can just about lift them to get them onto the trolley

Westwales : I've already planted a Clematis armandii which will be climbing across the trellis at the top I am after a shrub and only one because my cat likes to lay underneath them

My whole garden is designed around the animals

I may have to go to Bents to see what they've got in a decent size at the moment.

 

What about a bushy honeysuckle then? Most woodland plants like shade and there are some honeysuckles which aren't too straggly (I have one but have lost the label) or otherwise what about some large herbs? I have winter savory growing in a large pot which doesn't mind shade and I think rosemary would be OK too.

 

I've ordered a Choisya Ternata 10L pot so hopefully should be a decent size.

Thanks for all your help

 

After all that faffing and buying a Choisya, I ended up moving one of the other Rhodos into that spot cos it was getting rather tall and outgrowing its pot.



I'ts gonna be a monster!

Unfortunately I managed to break off some flowers on the other Rhodos while doing it.

Thanks for the suggestion of the Choisya GG - it's a really lovely shrub and will have a nice sunny spot now
