My Hostas never developed that wonderful two tone leaf fully.

 

[Treble]

Don't like them.

Neighbour says black bamboo plants. There are lots of different types apparently... bit pricey though.

These aint his, had to google image...

Rhubarb

Need dog friendly and no flowers.

Get a decent sized olive tree and repot it in the biggest pot you can find, it’ll be sound for years.

Another one I just thought of and remember seeing, fig tree in a pot.

Never grow them out the pots mate, worse than mint.

Spread like fck?

I had a mate who had strawberry plants growing out of every crevice. Spread under concrete paths to different parts of the garden and everything

Bamboos worse, it goes deep

Bamboo is an absolute ****er, never plant it openly in your garden because if you decide you want to get rid of it you’ll be bringing a digger in to tear the horrible stuff out!

I’m going for a herb garden this year, decided it’d be nice to use my own rather than shop bought. Various stages of planting from now through to May. Using small-ish pots as no proper garden space or planters available.

The main problem I have - I live in a penthouse (yeah I’m that kind of prick). So I’m having to grow on the balcony and the wind gets insane sometimes, I’m fully expecting to lose the whole lot at some point.

I’ve gone for all the usual suspects, but any odd varieties anyone could recommend are worth growing?

Get some Japanese knotweed. Leaves turn a beautiful bronze colour in autumn. It won't spread or cause any damage (unlike mint) so no need to keep it in a pot

Not joking but Rosemary. It's evergreen, lovely looking plant, comes in all sorts of coloured blossoms, and you can use it in cooking. What's not to like.

Everything. Rosemary is the herb of the devil.

Ok don't need to use it, but still decent potted plant for the balcony.

It’s good as a plant, I often plant it in rows with lavender for clients but not overly keen myself!

I'm having my garden done in about a months time. It'll be all slabs but want some pot plants, quite tall plants but I've no idea what is easy to look after?
@brb

to be pedantic that will no longer be a garden but instead will be a yard or if you going for pretentious twat it will be a courtyard .
Just saying .
