what to use?

i am wanting to know a few names of plants that are like Cerastium (Snow in Summer), but i am wanting different colours.

the planters i have planned are 5m long and i will have 2, so i am wanting something with some colour to fill some space around the flowers.

 

Hi Dave,

I can't think of anything like Cerastium but if you mean something that has the same habit, and flowering time then you can't really beat Aubrieta and Alyssum Saxatile.....

 

Yes just something with lots of little flowers that will fill in large gaps around plants.

 

Lobelia has always been and will always be one of my all time favourites

 

Hi Honeybunny,

The thing with Lobelia is that the one we use for bedding etc, Lobelia Erinus isn't hardy and would need replacing every year, so you'd have bare gaps in the Winter.

 

Ah i see, i thought Dave was looking for suggestions for something to fill in the gaps in his planters whilst the perennials were filling in. my mistake
