Thinking of creating pockets of colour in my garden over the winter where annuals have died and perennials have died back. Could anyone suggest any plants I could plant between my perennials in my borders? Would wall flowers work? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Pansies, violas, primroses as well as wallflowers and don't forget its the ideal time to plant bulbs first then the plants on top

( wallflowers in my childhood were called Gillivers......)

How about loads of heucheras

Wallflowers will stay green all winter and flower for a month (ish) during April/May. Pansies, polys, bellis, Cineraria silver dust are all plants to consider for a bit of colour plus early bulbs such as snowdrops, crocus and early daffs followed but later species

Thanks everyone. Off to a garden nursery to brighten up my garden in anticipation of the (gloomy) winter ahead!

Whites and yellows stand out in the gloom I find......

I have crocus and dwarf daffs in my heuchera troughs Scotkat and agree with you x
