Flower recommendation

[Tdp123]

Hi - I know nothing about gardening, but can anyone recommend what I could plant in my beds, and/ or hanging baskets that will give flowers throughout the summer. Thanks.

Rock rose - a shrub
Convulvulus cneorum
Erigeron
Phlox
Erisyum (wallflower) eg Bowles mauve
Hardy geraniums eg Rozanne

might have spelled some wrong! These are all good for repeat flowering throughout summer but they do tend to like sun.

flowering plants for shade is harder but Hydrangeas are one option

do you have walls/fence for climbers? If so then a rose will repeat flower especially in sun. Or plant several clematis with different flowering times (you can get all sorts)

Another vote for the hardy geranium Rozanne, gorgeous purple prolific flowering that goes on until autumn.

Bonus is that bees and butterflies love it!

For hanging baskets - petunias or calibrachoa - they'll be in garden centres soon but I'd wait a few more weeks until risk of frost is passed. They will need frequent watering and feeding, especially if we have a hot summer (daily watering in hot weather).

Roses! Not for the hanging baskets obvs. Peonies too.

Have a look at the Crocus website for ideas.

To be honest, that's a bit of an open brief! Lots of lovely options above but whether they will thrive in your garden is another thing.

How much maintenance/work are you up for?
How much space do you want to fill?
Do you have a lawn at all?
Any idea which way the garden faces? is it very dry or very boggy or just mediumish?

Rozanne is a good recommendation whatever!

For hanging baskets I would just buy ready-planted up ones. Be aware they need very regular watering and feeding too as the year goes on.
