What to plant to keep colour going as long as possible

dori2o

Mt front yard looks quite good atm,with the exception of my lillies, but I want to keepcolour in the garden as long as possible, what should I be looking at planting/sowing in order to do this?

(I have no open ground in the front yard, it is all pots and 2 hanging baskets.

For summer/autumn, I usually buy 'Apricot shades' plug plant begonias which provide great colour until October and they don't need dead heading. For later on in the year, winter pansies are usually a good bet if you buy them as plug plants and grow them on beforehand and plant some crocus and tete a tete bulbs in with them ready for spring. It is down to personal preference really for pots and baskets. Hope this helps.
