    Planning an Olympic / Jubilee theme for my pots and baskets this summer, so wondered if anyone had any red, white and blue suggestions?

    We are doing some themed planters around our village & these are what we are going for.. Well no bizzie Lizzies this year as far as I can tell this year, so Petunias are obviously a good start.. Clems & Monardas give large splashes too..
    Red - salvia, geranium, verbena, poppies, zinnia, begonias, mums, snapdragons and celosia.

    White - geranium, alyssum, shasta daisy, salvia, mums snapdragons, verbena and zinnias.

    Blue - ageratum, blue bells, lobelia, verbena and salvia morning glories.
