I am going to extend by containers, but the area will be in the shade until about 4.30 pm in the summer when it may be very hot. I have looked so much I am totally confused. Any ideas will be welcome. I am going to buy a Hosta named "Big Mama" now I have info on the copper bands. Also I would like some of them to be about 3 to 4ft tall and evergreen if possible. thanks, Mrs Bouquet (I can buy large plants at our nursery called "Big Plants" )

Hi, My son bought me a Coprosma earlier in the year and I planted it in a large ceramic planter. Think it has chocolate in its' name!!

They grow to about 3.5m but I would say that is in the garden border. However mine is flourishing and changing colour now the temps. have dropped. Probably I will have to make it a cover for the really cold weather, but that needs to researched, unless anyone on here knows.
