    Good morning just looking at the back garden as its raining and suddenly thought that my sweet Williams are in their second year in this border,which is about 30 feet x 2 feet,when they are finished ,not sure when that will be,what can I replace them with,as I don't want an empty border if I can help it,would really appreciate any suggestions you might have,thank you:smile:

            You're welcome WO:)

            My favourite is Purity...Still the best white. New varieties available now....xanthos, pale yellow, but shades of orange, red, etc., as well as bicolours are delightful :)
