and cut a large semi -circle from top
corner to the corresponding bottom
corner so that when open it made a

basket and six holes were punched
into the bottom to allow for drainage.
Jennifer used a soil mix of one part
compost and one part sand, perlite or
vermiculite. Her choice of plants
included ten drought -tolerant plants:
Silver Brocade and Valerie Finnis
artemisia; donkey -tail spurge
(Euphorbia myrsinites); "Autumn
Joy" sedum, and "Sundial Peach"
portulaca; two sempervivum or hens
and chicks; three trailing sedums, one
with purple leaves (Sedum spurium
'Ruby Mantle'), one variegated
(Sedum kamtschaticum variegatum)
and one green leaf, rapid grower
(Sedum acre) as a filler. You could
also add any of the drought tolerant
sages, and ornamental grasses. It
looks quite exotic and in the fall you
can set out the perennials in the
garden and use some of them next
year.
