I have 2 large terracotta pots which are on one of the corners of our naya (verandah) facing north north west. I had 2 Dypsis lutescens which were never successful as they had to endure sometimes a cold wind in winter, probably too much water (from me) or none at all. We have no prevailing wind. Our winds vary a lot.
I am looking for something to fill those pots, which I will plant up in October. I want something sculptural and interesting that doesn’t drop flowers or berries (which stain terracotta tiles) and which can endure the vagaries of the seasonal weather.
Any ideas?
