| What annuals/half hardy annuals can you sow now to fill in gaps?
I have tried cornflowers, Godetia and thought I might try poppies and
cosmos.
Would Osteospermum be quick enough?
I have dug out a new large bed and it would be nice to 'fill in gaps'
until I have planted shrubs.

Bit late to get them to flowering this season, surely? I think I'd
compromise, sow some red and green lettuce to fill a late summer space
in an ornamental way, for this year, and some biennials such as daisies,
foxgloves and sweet XXXXXXXX or wallflowers for next season.

Calendula? Flowers quite quickly and is reasonably cold tolerant so
would last quite well into autumn.
