what to plant
? I have various clumps of Alliums that have wandered about themselves. They are growing through clumps of Monarda, a Hardy Fuchsia, Geums, Dlephiniums and Echinacea, so when they begin to look tatty I snip them off just above the other plant. Thanks by Aliesh

Planting beneath buddleia and weigela
is hardy geraniums. They make a good weed-free ground cover, tolerate the conditions, are useful to the bees, and very pretty in season. I would have thought that plenty of other perennials would work too; maybe you have more choice if the small plants by Cumbriafanatic

ground frost warning
!  When that's done all my hardy perennial babies can come out of the cold GH and stay out. Lovely. Looks like we're going to escape a frost tonight - we escaped last night too, although there was a sharp frost up in North Norfolk.   Not sure if I am by Gold1locks

More plants needed
to get along to the garden centre soon and then i can put in some new plants. There are some lovely perennial geraniums in pinks and purples that are good and filling in gaps. I agree, Busy-Lizzie - I use Geranium wallichianum 'Buxton's Variety' all by Mrs F

Is it too late/early to move perennials?
I know we're in the middle of winter(?), but am keen to do what I can in the current relatively mild weather. Would perennials get upset if I moved them around the garden now? I was going to do it last year in March when traditionally it can still by Tim Burr

Slugs
bitten off cleanly but was not eaten. i suppose the snail spat it out and shouted "yuk" that tastes awful. lol They do nibble pelargoniums, which are often called bedding geraniums. The hardy true perennial geraniums seem immune. I've never noticed any by Bev Pounsett-Krynauw

Plants or flowers from seed
can sow seeds. If perennials, then hostas look good in pots - there is one with a lovely purple flower, some have more flowers than others. Also heucheras for the different leaves, corydalis, liriope and several hardy geraniums will grow in shade. What by bunnysgarden

Shaded Border
some brighter summer colour along this fence.   I would like low growing stuff as it also borders a path.    I am quite fond of fuchsia, and wondered about the hardy dwarf shrubs.  Any advice and any ideas please would be welcome. Fuschia will do well by Novice23
