Actually, I have completed this vertical garden project. There is a picture among my photos and you can also find an article about it in the internet site of Landscape Middle East Magazine. (http://www.landscape-me.com/show-articles.php?id=4)
For now, it’s still doing fine but we had some rough winter and it snowed a lot here in Istanbul. Some small groundcover plants got damaged. I just checked it today. We will change it.
The issue that I am wondering whether there is anyway to avoid plants to get frozen or not. Should I choose the species accordingly?
I thought, I would use these groundcovers to give the color and the flower that the client was requesting to see, then i would change it before spring. Of course, at the same time I have some plants that I was sure nothing was going to happen and they are actually fine.
What would you suggest? Should I use plants resistant to cold, in that case they would never see enough colorful species, or change some of the plant material seasonally?
Thanks a lot.
