Presenter: Neville Passmore

Now for this week?s Potted Inspiration - the ultimate combination for a patio or balcony that looks good year round and requires virtually no maintenance.

Neville introduces you to ?Baby Bliss? (Dianella revoluta ?Baby Bliss?). It is a variety of native flax lily with beautiful blue foliage. It is a fantastic alternative to Mondo Grass and is really tough, tolerates dry conditions and frost. It is so easy to care for as well. You simply remove any old leaves to keep it looking good. It only gets to about 30 cm tall and its compact form makes it ideal as a low-growing groundcover or shown off in sexy modern pots.

The pots featured are from the 'Primo' range of high fashion glazes from Northcote Pottery. The double glazing process that they go through ensures a deep rich colour and a durable finish.

The Radix Tall Square pot in the Forest Blue colour is an attractive and contemporary design that adds height to the landscape. The Radix Squat Square pot in a wine colour offers a lovely contrast to the blue foliage of the Dianella.

Featured Product

Radix Tall Square - Forest Blue

• A unique, modern design perfectly suited to bold, structural foliage plants
• The process of 'double glazing' provides a deep, rich colour, allowing the black to show through a deep blue shade
• Ideal for grouping with its smaller cousin, Radix Squat Square
• The tall narrow shape is perfect for adding height to the landscape or for use in small spaces such as balconies

Radix Squat Square - Wine

• Perfect partner for the Radix Tall Square
• Again - the process of 'double glazing' allows the black to show through a deep burgundy/wine shade
• These two colours blend together beautifully and contrast with the silver/blue foliage of Dianella 'Baby Bliss' and of Red Cordylines
