pots that don't need much looking after

We had some lovely pansies in our pots in the garden which gave us lots of colour, also 2 lovely daisy like flowers that gave us loads of purple flowers and a primrose .
They've all died now even though they were fed and watered think that was just the end of them.

I'm looking to replace them but don't know what with - is it too late to pot things up? Would I be better off with some kind of ornamental grass or something?

The gardens looking quite bare now and I feel like I'm the most inept gardener what with our 2 mature trees dying as well :(

All I have left now is a fuchia and a Fern.
