Looking for large plant to put in patio pot
Hi everyone
I have three large concrete pots that I am looking to fill, but not sure what plant would thrive. The pots are on the patio, where it gets a lot of sun from early morning to early afternoon. It also feels the wind a fair bit if it's blowy out. I'd like something quite large to add structure. I'm based in South East Kent so very hot weather during summer, I need something that will take this heat and not die off. Any ideas welcome.

It does depend on what you mean by 'large' though.
Large as in 3-5 ft tall, can offer shade.
If you only get light frost, take a look at Grevillea Rosmarinifolia and Callistemons.
Thank you everyone so far ☺️
Arbutus Unedo a good evergreen choice, they can look a bit scrappy with spotty leaves though. I’ve never found them the neatest of trees. Is evergreen important? If not, your choices broaden considerably.
