Due to one thing and another we’ve not had any flowers in the garden this year. Would love to have some winter flowering plants so looking for suggestions for what to put in pots to cheer us up this autumn/winter.

I tend to stick with violas which do better for me than pansies and use primulas like drumstick in beds with alliums and bulbs (tulips and daffs). I've picked up supermarket bulbs in bafs and they've worked great.Northern England. -
I've got a mix of things for my pots going through from Autumn to Spring. Primulas, pansies, violas, bellis, huchera, euphorbia, snowdrops, winter aconites and some varigated ivy.Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

Cyclamens add a good bit of colour Jay and they are frost hardy.
Minature daffs but wont flower until spring.
Peanuts suggestions are excellent.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Hellebores are nice for winter / early spring. Will cope with a slightly shady spot if you have one of those to brighten up, and some varieties do OK in pots but you'd have to doa bit of research and get the right oneAre y'oroight booy?Comment
