Pool surround gardening

Page 1 of 1
Looking for some advice on pool surround planting.

We have roughly 500mm wide garden bed around the edge of our pool.

Depth of the bed is only around 250-300mm to top of gravel around draining lines.

Initial thoughts were to plant all plants in pots in ground (nursery pot in ground or pot in pot) to minimise growth and any issues with invasive root systems.

Interested to hear peoples thoughts on this method.

Plants we are looking at are

1. Strelitzia Reginae
2. Mother in laws tongue
3. Blue Chalk Sticks.
4. Not sure yet but something to add some low to mid height growth and bulk, maybe a Crassula or similar

Murraya could be a great option for you. It creates a great tall screening hedge but doesn't drop fruit like lily pilly. The flowers smell divine.
