One of my birthday presents was these gorgeous green planters plus some garden centre vouchers (thank you A&K!). Once the builders had retreated, I went on a shopping spree and purchased some plants that I knew would add a splash of colour to the front of the house, some of which I knew I could transplant into a border when they grew too big and/or I fancied a change.
After doing three circuits of the garden centre, I picked out a poppy, some bedding plants and two fast-growing perennials - bidens ferulifolia and sanvitalia procumbens. Hopefully the last two will provide good groundcover ultimately and overcome the evil kikuyu grass which swamps our borders.
