Our flower bed looks gorgeous in July/August but that's about it. For most of the year it's very bare, not even any greenery (we seem to have to plants that you have to cut back down to nothing in the winter). I think I'm right in saying that you can get heather that flowers throughout the winter so I want to put some of that in but am confused about where. The flower bed in summer is chock-a-block so there wouldn't be much room for the heather then, yet there is loads of room for it outside of summer. Should I just plant it anyway, in between the summer plants, and cut back the summer plants a bit when they arrive so that there is room for it all?
