SHADY COMPANIONS

WORDS THOMAS UNTERDORFER Just outside my bathroom window sits one of my most important pots. This is the first pot I see in the morning and the last one I look at in the evening. In May, I concentrate on just three plants for this pot to last well into the autumn. A recent visit to landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx’s garden near Rio de Janeiro inspired me to choose strong foliage and a pot full of character such as this one, which I discovered in an antiques centre.
