Can I have your suggestions please? I had primroses last year which were very colourful but didn't last long. The year before some colourful daisies, although these were a bit expensive they did last and were very pretty. Currently have heather and trailing ivy in one and several more troughs and pots to fill. Thanks for any ideas to bring some colour to my garden after such a dull winter!

I'm going for begonias for shady spots and geraniums (sented leaf ones) for sunny pots. I always pot up a few nice grasses to mingle with them. I find one variety of anything often (to me) looks more spectacular than a mix!
