A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Landscape trials and triumphs Container Gardening If Creeping Charlie wont grow...

Ok here is the deal. I have a shed painted white. I have two wrought iron plant pot holders in black that hold about an 8 inch terra cotta pot. I would love to plant something in the pots that can survive a Southwestern Location full sun with a blacktop surface really heating up the area a lot. I've tried Cypress Vine and creeping charlie but they both shriveled up and died within a week.

Is there maybe a succulent that would drape over the side of the pot and do well there? Or is the pot just to small to support anything substancial?

what about some trailing sedums, or even strawberries?

I think the pot would be to small for tthe strawberries but I think I would like to try the tailing sediums. I'll take a look into that. Thank you for the suggestion.
