Title: Autumn pots
Post by: Georgie on October 02, 2005, 16:16:33
Potted these up today.  I'm particularly pleased with the way the blue fescue (which I grew from seed in the spring) complements the marbling on the cyclamen leaves.   ;D

They are great, Georgie! A very good planting combination (IMHO)!

Aww, thanks both.  It's a shame the pic doesn't do justice to the Schizostylis Coccinea.  It's a beautiful deep salmon pink one.  Will take another pic when more flowers are out.

Thanks GW and Dibber.  I've never tried mixed planting in pots before, only the window box.  But I was in the nursery and I'd parked my heavily over-laden trolley to have a wander thought the shrub section.  As I walked back I saw my trolley with the cyclamen in front of the Schizostylis Coccinea and thought 'wow' they look great together.  The blue fescue was an after thought when I got home.  There will be no stopping me now! ;)
