Marigold
A brilliant summer bedding choice, marigolds look great in any mixed border. An added benefit is that their flowers attract beneficial insects which prey on garden pests such as aphids.

A dramatic large flower head makes this marigold a main feature in your borders. Plant in groups for bold splashes of colour all Summer long.

Geranium
These are a summer favourite with most gardeners especially as they are so easy to grow. They thrive in full or partial shade and like all soil types so you cant go wrong. We have several varieties come and take a look.

Antirrhinum
A cheerful mass of colour these upright plants are a delight to the eye. They need full sun though to thrive so take care where you plant.

Begonias
Begonias are great in both beds and baskets. Choose double begonias for beds as these have the largest blooms.

Cineraria
This is a popular foliage plant having fern like decorative leaves. Used to compliment summer bedding schemes Cineraria will even tolerate mild winters.

Celosia
Often referred to as ‘Prince of Wales Feathers’ at least in Wigan! These bright red and yellow plumes will flower through May and June.
