Hi all,

I need suggestions for a suitable vine/shrub to be planted in an 18 inch pot. The location is such that it gets little morning sunshine but gets plenty of afternoon sunlight. I failed miserably with wild alamanda last year as the flower buds shriveled before blooming.

Your expert opinions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks...
Arq

If you are interested in flowering vines then go for the very hardy bougainvillea. There are imported ones available at the nurseries located at "Peshawar more".

Try Brunfelsia or commonly called Yesterday tomorrow and today plant, it is fragrant with three colours of blooms on single plant... will do good in containers

Hi Tahir,

Is brunfelsia easily available in RWP?

You can get it from Peshawar mor nurseries in Islamabad. The people there call it francisia.

What do you think of chandni? Will it grow well in a container and the sunlight conditions mentioned above? I like the variegated variety.

Will grow provided you give it a good sized container and partial shade as container soil dries up very quickly.
