summer glory later in the season. For the sheer joy of watching something grow from a tiny seed to a beautiful flowering plant hardy annuals are hard to beat. Hi I'm new to gardening and have just bought all my annual seeds. I've noticed on the seven day by Antonia

Flowers for July?
Hey all, my garden has suffered this year from its usual lack of flower in the 'dead zone' after all my cottage hardies have finished but before my later stuff begins. Just wondered what y'all used, other than annuals, to keep the interest going by auntie betty

Making wildflower turf
solid wildflowers. No grass. I think it was planted up in the Spring, by council workmen. You won't do better than this.. Gardengirl, are you planning an annual wildflowers mix or a perennial grass and flower mix? I have a small pot with annual and bi-annual by Gardengirl..

Talkback: Aching for annuals
I grow several perennial persicarias but didn't know there was this gorgeous annual form. Thank you for introducing us. I went along to the Inner Temple show and I was wondering what the stately pink-flowered plant was. Now I know, I'm tempted by joseph woosey

Should I dig up my Allysum?
planting now for next spring, I'd hoick it out. Hardy annuals germinate, flower, seed and die all in the same year. So, your plants won't come back next year. However, if you let them seed you may get new baby plants that survive the winter and start by Jo Hamilton

bulbs throughout the seasons
will not have to disturb them with cultivations like mowing. True geoff Thanks Welshonion, but my bed won't have any grass in it whatsoever as the seed mis I'm going to use is 100% cornfield flowers and they are also all annuals, no perennials, so no need by Jess is in the Garden

What to do with dead flowers/Tulips/Daffodils
with perennials.  If not, just plant small annuals and perennials in amongst them to grow up and continue the flowering succession through the summer. The larger flowered tulip hybrids don't always coem again but will if they were planted deep enough by Deev8

New flowers to recommend
New flower varieties are introduced every year, and we feature many exciting ones in Gardeners' World Magazine. I've been trialling some new ones ahead of their launch for 2013, including a striking free-branching dwarf sunflower called 'Solar Flash by Adam Pasco

Dropmore scarlet
.Also. am I right to think pruning should be done in February ? TIA   As Dropmore Scarlet flowers on new growth I would prune it right back in the early spring - Feb would be fine.  Then do the same annually - that way you should build up lots of branching by GiilyP
