By the way, you could plant a Japanese Maple in a large pot in a protected corner on your patio...depending on what zone you are in. Are you in 7? It would work for zone 7 for sure.

Have you ever grown Cerinthe (Honeywort)? It's gorgeous, self seeds but isn't invasive and the bees love it. Blue green leaves and amazing navy blue and turquoise flowers.
