Gazania and black-eyed Susan pot display

This attractive, dramatic display combines the fiery blooms of two climbers – black eyed Susan and Ipomoea lobata, teamed with complementary plants (we’ve used gazanias) at their base. A rustic looking support, such as this pyramid one made of wicker, gives a natural feel. Tie the climbers to the support to help them on their way.
