Planting for giant pot
Hello folks
I have a giant pot (internal diameter 1 metre) which I want to plant up with something new. It's to the side of my front door so I'd like something exciting. So far I am thinking of verbena grandiflora Bampton with Erigeron karvinskianus round the outside edge. Can anyone suggest something else to add in the mix, or a completely different idea? It's west facing, sheltered, but obviously anything in it is going to need to be fairly drought-tolerant as I don't want to be watering it every day! (It is big, so lots of space to play with - to give you an idea I have two more of these pots round the back of the house, each with five hydrangeas in them!)

and incorporate some sedums that will trail over the edge.
Seriously, lovely pot though, jealous!
Those sempervivums etc look fabulous, Dovefromabove. That and JennyJ's penstemon both great suggestions, thanks.
Some Spring bulbs would be nice...
