These are my new accent pots from Magic Ceramics. This guy just keeps getting better and better! I’ll be adding some new pots to the sales page soon.

Loving these ceramic tiles, great to use as an alternative to the wooden jitta. All that he made have been snapped up but new ones on the way.

My new favourite pot, which I’ve named ‘Alien Egg’. Lourve it!

This bad boy gives a few options for planting with the split.

Another great one.

This one’s just nuts. No idea what to plant in it yet, but inspiration will come.

This one’s got loads of layers to it, can’t wait to pot it up.

Agapanthus Accent

I’ve been trying to get this Agapanthus down to a size that works as an accent and it looks like this year Iv’e done it. Still to flower but I’ll post again when it does.

The first 3 photos show it in the middle of May with flower stocks emerging. I was hoping for them to stay a little shorter this year.

And this is them now 🙂 If they flower anywhere near this height I think we can call it a success. Pot as usual by Magic Ceramics.

Another One!

You’d think I’d have enough plants for accent/kusamono, but apparently not! I was at a local Garden Centre on Saturday with my better half for a coffee and spotted a few plants in the Alpine section that took my fancy. A nice Dwarf Aquilegia, Primula and a Mazus which I’d never heard of.

After a little poking and splitting and a few Magic Ceramic pots, this is the results. I have a few set aside for future use as well.

Accent – Gunnera!

No, not one of the hugh leafed Gunneras that we see blotting the landscape. This is one of the small varieties that hails from New Zealand I think. I don’t have the full botanicial name for it and if one of you plant nerds can ID it, I’d love to know. I can’t remember seeing one as an accent before but I’d love to be proved wrong on that point. I got this one from Pat in Waterford in a plant swap session. Cheers Pat, I love it. Pot is a Wallsall Ceramics creation.Again, it’s going to take a while to fill out but I’ll keep you posted with how it matures.

Kusamono – Juncus, Papyrus, Hosta,Sisrinchium

Another Kusamono made up for a new pot, this one by Stone Monkey. I love this pot with the green glaze in the rim. I wanted to plant something that would allow this to be seen but still match the planting.

I opted to go for a cool feel to the planting using light greens in the foliage to link in with the pot colours. I added a Sisrinchium to add just a splash of darker colour but still a cool feel with the purple flower. The other plants are, at the higher level, Juncus effusus, then a middle level with a mini Papyrus and sisyrinchium E.K. Balls, and a hosta Iced Lemon at the bottom level.The hosta will grown to break the line of green around the pot but the majority should still be visible.
