We're probably not going to get a divide along the side the garden (long story) so I was looking for some bright flowers that are cheap and east to grow, something I can scatter a long the ground and let them grow...... would like something for cuttings as well.

Ooh I love cosmos... How about poppies too? California poppies seem particularly tolerant of my haphazard 'sowing' (chucking) techniqueComment

Cosmos, Aster, Welsh Poppy, Nicotinia, Nigella - there are quite a lot to choose from really - you could even buy a ready made mix - wild flower mix etc.Rat

Thanks for the suggestions folks, I think I'll go for the cosmos as I brought some "shake & rake" seeds from Pound Land and has loads of different red and yellow wild flowers. These I will use on the flower bed as there is to much rubbish buried under the soil and cannot be bothered to clear any more so I thought I'd turn the earth other a bit and layer some spare soil on top and just use it as a "wild flower bed". I thinking if I used those up the side of the garden then it might be a bit to much so a little something different would be good.Follow my garden and chilli growing project... @impatientgrowerComment
