I Have Two Huge Ceramic Pots On My Balcony And Would Like To Have A Large Copper Coloured Spikey Plant For It

Question

I’m in British Columbia ( Vancouver ) The patio is facing west and gets full sun. The pots are well-drained with a large saucer to contain drainage. They are protected by a standard height clear glass enclosure.

Answer 1

You could get a perennial agastache in that color. But you might have hummingbirds and butterflies trying to land through the glass. Something like a tall cacti/succulent would look nice.
