Grow Upwards!
Many city spaces struggle with small square footage, but this doesn't have to stop you from growing vertically. There are plenty of varieties that work well in deep containers or beds that will offer maximum drama. My favourites are hollyhocks, as they are the perfect country-garden-meets-city-space flower, best planted in April or May to be enjoyed all the way from June through to September. Their growth can be staggering, so you may need the support of some bamboo canes to keep them standing tall.
