    There's a border I was pleased with this year - a combination of Foxglove, Hollyhock and Sweet William - however the Foxgloves and the Sweet Williams flowered a little earlier than I imagined, and now they're about to go to seed and are starting to look a bit rough. Any ideas on what to do/what to replace them with? The Hollyhock's fine, it's about to come into bloom, but over the summer there'll be bare patches >:(

    Stick some cosmos into the gaps, or other annuals. And plan for late flowering perennials for next year - Helenium, Echinacea, Asters as an example.
