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.

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!
