Planting Suggestions

Perennials spread easily in suitable conditions to form well established clumps and annuals can be sown to provide further summer colour in an otherwise uncultivated bed. Herbs and vegetables are often mixed in with the flowers as companion plants to ward off pests if there is no space available for a separate kitchen garden (eg marigolds interplanted with tomatoes to repel greenfly).
