How easy is it to maintain? Does it get quite dusty & does it attract spider webs?

This does need to be maintained weekly. These are live plants.

Best winter plants
Q

As Bitsnbats so rightly says, there are plenty to choose from. A couple of winter flowering examples among my favourites are Jasminum nudiflorum, small, bright, yellow flowers sufficient to form a wall of colour usually January to March but out since early December this year, perfect against a north-facing wall, fence or hedge; Lonicera fragrantissima (winter flowering honeysuckle), a bush-forming variety so can be used as a hedging plant or free standing. Both the Jasmine and the Honeysuckle are wonderfully scented too. There are several Hellibore varieties for soft colours at shoe level in wooded or shady areas, often hidden until you get close, a nice surprise. Note the characteristics of where you would like to see the colour, such as aspect (i.e. which direction it is most open to, or completely open), amount of light or shade, soil type (heavy, clay, sandy, loam, acid, alkaline or neutral), whether support is available such as trees, other taller plants, wall, fence, etc, etc, or free standing. There are probably winter flowering plants for that situation.

Front garden planters, plants and hedging

I think Photinia would get too large and unruly for planters on top of the walls. They need managing otherwise they get very large and have a very loose form. Personally I'd opt for something that is more consistent in form and shape without too much upkeep and provides an attractive green backdrop to your beautiful house rather than competing with it for attention! Something like Buxus or Japanese box (Euonymus Green Rocket) as alternative to avoid issues with Box blight. Alternatively Privet is a good reliable evergreen hedger particular well suited to urban situations as they tolerate pollution. Either way its worth adding some water retaining granules and slow release fertiliser to the soils to give them a boost. At least you're planting at a good time to avoid stressing them in the dry summer months. Good luck!

Hi Leeza - what well weeded borders you have! And welcome to the world of gardening - its great fun!! The shrubs you have will definitely bush out over time to cover the wall to a greater extent than they do know. I would be tempted to add some summer flowering perennials to fill up some of the space - something very easy to look after like a harder geranium orion or rozanne and maybe some penstemon like Raven - these would bring some colour interest into the area. Also think about some spring bulbs like iris reticulata, crocus or tulips. Good to plant know and they will cheer up the whole area. Other than that get a good mulch/top dressing to try and keep the weeds down!

Convert a supposedly plant pot floor gap in highrise apartment

I already have a reading corner near the other windows. The gap is 4.5 metres. I wonder if I could put a long E-shaped 70 cm-high and 40cm-deep partition behind the sofa along the gap from the edge right upto the wall. The two U-shaped sections formed can be seating areas with two good looking broad planks placed on, 1 or 2, 18mm plywood covering the gap. Cushions and thick rugs can soften the seating and back. The part of the E-shaped partition along the wall can be extended till the window for a display section. Thus, I can have a separate seating area facing the window wall. Rail or cable lighting on the ceiling above which I already have. What say ? Could it work ?
