I've got a rectangular bed right in the middle of my front garden. Around 2ft by 6ft. For the last couple of years I've had self seeded marigolds covering the whole thing and looking rather marvellous. I love the solid block of really cheerful colour.
Problem is, spring and autumn it looks rubbish. Great in summer, but...
So. perhaps some bulbs for spring? Then they'll die down and let the marigolds through?
Can I plant something for autumn? Or should I get rid of the marigolds and plant something else which will flower through to autumn? Needs to be no more than 18 inches tall and I want a good block of colour. Perhaps in orange.
What do you think?
