I haven't got round to doing any pots this year and now seem devoid of ideas of what goes well together. What are you all growing?

By my front door it is Pot City ... I have:

Geraniums; osteospermum; busy lizzies; verbena; marguerites; fuschias and the obligatory lobelia

AND a pot of strawberries, first bunch looks about ready to eat!

Out the front, bright pink geranuims and labelia.

Out back, pansies in different sorts of containers and a few Margherites which the slugs have demolished...bastards!!

I often use helichrysum (not sure about spelling!) - comes in silvery green, lime green and variegated varieties - can get quite large too
