Someone has recommended Mandevilla for the handrails-- specifically mandevilla x amoena 'alice dupont'. After some research, it looks like a good replacement candidate for the white bleeding heart which I've had no luck with. I'm also going to step up to a larger planter, which will need to be horizontal... 70L x 21W x 17H inches would be the dimensions. I wonder about wood in the sun and rain. They also mentioned that mandevilla was very sensitive to cholorine and should be watered with water that's been left out for a day.
I've never thought to think of the effects of chem'd water on delicate roots.
This could be tarred on the inside (That's what we did in NYC and they got through hot summer and freezing winter). Not sure if sealing in S FL humidity would be a good idea or not. Great size.
