The real show-off's in the garden, these plants provide a superb splash of colour during the changing seasons. You can have colourful bedding plants all year round, so no garden or patio ever need be dull again. Container gardening has become extremely popular in recent years, with all sorts of plants now being used in container gardening - you can be traditional or adventurous - it's your choice!
Late winter and early spring starts off the year with flowering Primroses and Polyanthus both heralding the start of a new growing season. These could be complimented in a planting scheme with small evergreen plants, pansies and bulbs to create attractive containers for example.
Moving on to summer when the traditional Fuchsias, Geraniums & Impatiens take over. Alongside with many other varieties, these can purchased either as plants ready to go straight into their final planting position or, if you fancy, growing them yourself from seed. Alternatively you could purchase young starter plants which are available from February onwards. These will require the protection of a heated greenhouse or a sunny windowsill until they transfer outside in late May.
As the summer moves on and autumn draws closer, you will need to think about your autumn and winter colour which, like your spring and summer varieties, can be full of colour. Pansies, Violas & Ornamental Cabbage may appear to be the staple diet of a winter scheme, but there are many others to choose from - all you need is a little bit of adventure and imagination. If you need inspiration you can always ask us for advice.
