ROOM WITH A VIEW

The trough under my living room window has filled out splendidly and although the view of it from outside is lovely, it is also lovely looking at it through the window.  When I first had the trough affixed to the wall under my window, I made the mistake of growing low plants which could hardly been seen from inside.  I won't make that mistake again.  I am looking forward to planning what I will have later this year, to flower in winter.  It will, no doubt, be a challenge as I believe we are in for another harsh winter.  But, for now, I have a trough packed with zonal pelargoniums, trailing pelargoniums and white trailing lobelia.

The yellow flower that you see below is not growing in the trough but is the Arthur Bell rose which I grow in a border beneath the trough.

 

Zonal pelargoniums are great value for money.  So easy to propagate.
