I have just put up a new fence in my garden, and want to use my space better than it has been used in the past. My idea is to buy large pots, and to introduce more greenery in my life! I have just purchased a passiflora, which I intend to grow up the fence, and over the the arbor at the top. However, I would like more plants in the garden in seperate pots.

The criteria I have are they MUST be cat friendly, they also must be hardy, and long lasting. I have attached a picture to show you the space I am working in, and just wondered if you good people could point me in the right direction - what would you advise I put in this area?

Many thanks!!
