Flower Bed Design

[richard18459]

Next year I want to create a Union Jack design using bedding plants. Does anyone know of a website or suggest which plants I could use?

A bit of Googling found a page which recommends white alyssum, blue ageratum and red wax begonias. It's one of those pages where the main Google link takes you to a password-protected site, but you can bypass the password through accessing the cached version, here:

If you get good at creating the Union Flag you could try it on a larger scale ;-)

Or simply go massive! ;-)

Pansies or begonias?
