    Can anyone recommend any red & white flowers that flower either all year or the majority of the year such as early spring to late autumn or similair!!
    Anything would be a great suggestion, the cheaper the better and the easier to look after the better as I am big amatuer!!

    LOL, No I am not a sunderland fan but thats a great way of explaining what i am wanting to achieve, imagine a bed of flowers that is red and white stripes or say a george cross on the ground!!
    That hopefully gives you a good idea of what is in my head, any recomendations for what I should use to have a lovely looking cheap all year round(or as much as possible) flower patch!!

    You are not going to get a plant or flower that will be in flower all year round. They don't work that way! You only option is to replace several times with different plants, depending on the time of year.

    My neighbour has a Cross of St George in his garden now, using red Begonias and white Alyssum, which will be good for the whole summer.
