It may be a little early to start summer annuals, but pansies, violas, snapdragons, calendulas and more will go strong until June or even later if planted anew now.
Keep an eye out for them on clematis, calendulas, chrysanthemums and zinnias.
Edible flowers, such as nasturtiums, pansies, violets, and calendulas, are also good.
Sweet peas, pansies and calendulas are fairly cold tolerant and should be planted as soon as soil can be easily worked.
By the middle of July the calendulas, coreopsis and annual larkspur make a vivid display where the narcissus was before.
Yellow and orange calendulas bloom through winter, as will pink and white English daisies and sweet-scented stock.
