Hardy annuals for autumn sowing<br />
Focals<br />
• Cornflower – lovely blue, or try mixed<br />
pastel shades or dark burgundy/black<br />
• Calendula (pot marigold) – cheerful and<br />
floriferous, ‘Indian Prince’ is a handsome variety,<br />
surprisingly marigolds also come in pastel shades<br />
• Rudbeckia hirta ‘Cherry Brandy’ a shortlived<br />
big daisy grown as an annual<br />
• Malope trifida (mallow) large pink open flowers<br />
• Consolida (larkspur) – a smaller wild form of<br />
Delphinium available in blue, but also other shades<br />
• Lupinus mutabilis (annual lupin)<br />
spires of pea-like flowers<br />
• Sweet peas – for long stems grow as cordons (this<br />
involves cutting out side shoots and training the<br />
stems carefully on wires). The old fashioned varieties<br />
are more strongly scented than the modern hybrids<br />
Fillers, foils and foliage<br />
• Ammi majus – an airy, white umbellifer, perfect<br />
as a companion plant to a showier bloom<br />
• Orlaya grandiflora – another graceful umbelliferous<br />
plant, smaller and more compact that Ammi<br />
• Cerinthe major purpurescens – glaucous green<br />
foliage and purple, almost navy blue flowers<br />
that look great in a vase – and in the borders<br />
• Scabiosa atropurpurea – pin cushion flowers on wiry<br />
stems in lots of colours. ‘Chilli Black’ is a good one<br />
• Salvia viridis (clary sage) – neat spires<br />
in shades of white, blue and pink<br />
• Nigella damascena (Love-in-the-mist) N. papillosa<br />
‘African Bride’ has wonderful dark seedheads<br />
• Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) makes a great filler<br />
– try bronze fennel for background drama<br />
• Buplerum rotundifolium – grown for its lime green<br />
bracts that mix well with flowers of any shade<br />
