  1. Interesting pots. I really liked the combinations. How cold does it get where you live? I am in the States, Minneapolis, Minnesota and we will have dips into -20F in the winter.
    Thanks for sharing Katie

  2. You've used a nice selection of plants. I have a few winter pots but could I use wicker hanging baskets? Also, I don't like ivy, is there any other trailing plants that I could use.

  3. I'm not an expert but after watching this video from beginning to end, I cannot say anything because as I said in the beginning, I'm not an expert.

  4. i bought some winter pansies from eBay and Amazon and they had already gone to seed so no flowers,ive tried to grow flowers from seed and most just don't.! yet the cyclamem arrived in bloom and healthy few weeks ago and still doing well

  5. don't do the ivy its the worst thing if you have a perimeter hedge as it grows through it and takes years to eradicate.

  6. FWI: viola's are not Broadleaf evergreens, they are annuals that go dormant and stop flowering through the winter, and then begin flowering again in spring.

    Adding rocks or perlite to soil actually retains more water rather than allowing more drainage. I would simply just plant them in a slightly acidic airy soil

  7. How long will it take for the plants to out grow the pots? Will the roots not be tingled up if you do need to remove them to repot?

  8. Is there a hole at the bottom of the pots to drain the water or is having the rocks at the base enough to not worry about watering too much?

  9. Excellent. Just a few more facts like geography (I'm guessing northwest England as your accent matches mine?) And planting months. And perhaps display plant names for deafer people like me. Very enjoyable. Thankyou

  10. Amazing video thank you. If you could label/add a name to the plants it'd be great as many aren't English spellings.

  11. A lovely arrangement, but you didn't tease out the roots of each plant before putting them in? That really helps the plants to do well.

  12. Why does some gardeners believe in putting rocks in the bottom of pots and other gardeners have proven there is no need to put stones in the bottom !

  13. DON'T put any rock at the bottom! This is an old useless method that has bee proven not to work and rot the plants. Just mix some grit, sand or perlite with the soil for drainage. Also rough up the roots, they seemed very root bound and might die off before you can plant it on spring!

  14. Hi great video thank you. Can I ask you did not fertilize them, I just wondered why not is it unecessary? Thanks Natalie

  15. Hi all. Katie is a yorkshire lass. Northeast England. Hope this helps some of you. Katie please I'm in the SW & have tried to grow Heuchera before. It was doing so well, then came out one morning to find it dead.Taking it out the pot it had white grubs in the soil around the roots. It's pretty wet here in the winter. Please how can I avoid this happening again, as I was so disappointed.
