Drought-tolerant plants for Mediterranean-style containers

- CHRIS MORLEY

Warm haven 

Gardens from around the Med are admired for their lush greenery, aromatic plants and hot-coloured blooms. With similar conditions a warm, sheltered spot and free-draining soil - you can create your own tranquil oasis, using groups of pots. Choose traditional terracotta to nail the look, or opt for lightweight plastic imitations, brightly glazed ceramics or a collection of upcycled metal cans.
