Has anyone bought one of these 'shake n sow' tubs? Curious as to what types of flowers are included - assume they're all annuals (but that they may self sow if leave to go to seed). Need a nice variety of flowers for a few new borders by Becky P

New garden border help!!

evergreen colour in winter. I'm concerned that there's going to be big gaps after spring flowering but as the new plants haven't fully grown yet should I leave putting further evergreen plants in until later?? I started off my mixed border years ago by vashton19
