This time of year is always full of colour in my garden - I struggle more at the height of summer because I don't 'do' summer bedding. Best 'doers' right now are many hardy geraniums, geums, aquilegias and foxgloves.

There are plenty of perennials that are in flower now - alliums, geums, roses, oriental poppies, hardy geraniums, alchemilla mollis. They aren't all very easy to grow from seed though. I forgot to mention sweet rocket - another biennial that is in flower now - has been for several weeks

Thanks Raisingirl, I'm busy chasing the sun round the house with them and in the porch overnight!
Good luck - as others have said, everything is rather late this year. I have one pelargonium in full flower but it's been on a sunny windowsill all winter so never quite stopped flowering. Of the ones that are new this year, only one has a couple of little flowers on it, just out, in the polytunnel.
