Is there anything I can plant in tubs now?

The tubs I've had planted for summer colour are looking distinctly sad now! Is there anything I could/should be planting now for autumn even winter colour?

Thanks, I'm not a great gardener Smile

Put some bulbs under for spring colour also

Cyclamen or Heather

Shrubs? I get enormous pleasure from my potted large daphne odora.

We have Begonia flower at home. My wife planted it in tubs and it's very beautiful.

There are some very small firs that look lovely when surrounded by pansies or heathers.
It depends on the size of the tub. Autumn Cyclamen look good, but don’t last too long over the winter.

You can go for foliage and put in ivy and ferns (some ferns are evergreen, some aren’t). Hellebores might work too if your pots are a decent size.
