Oops, sorry @Nollie . Forgot to post the photo of the bright orange daisy-like plants. Can't remember the name but very popular round here for March/April flowers. They look more orange in real life.

Can you grow the perennial wallflowers? Erysimum apricot twist is very good. Mine started flowering at the end of March. And is really getting going now. It'll keep going all summer. It's nowhere near as leggy as Bowle's Mauve.
There's a euphorbia polychroma or I think it's more properly called Euphorbia epithymoides. It's not a spreader and is very bright. A bit tender here so tends to be later than the bigger ones but you probably wouldn't have that problem there.

Thanks for the additional suggestions, @Tin pot, @fidgetbones and @raisingirl, and for the photo @Obelixx. I did try wallflowers once, raisingirl, they flowered for a very short time then looked scruffy and keeled over, so not sure they liked it here. Still lots of workable suggestions so I have made a shortlist and will be on the look out if the GCs are allowed to open later in the year, but more likely order stuff online in the autumn/spring as appropriate. Cheers.
