Tired of Replanting Your Garden Every Year

Here’s How to Add Colour to Your Garden That Lasts

Every spring, many gardeners find themselves caught in the same cycle — spending time and money on trays of annuals, only to have them fade by autumn. If you’re looking for a more rewarding and sustainable way to garden, it’s time to consider a new approach.

With the GardenAdvice One Day Gardening Course, run in your own garden with our expert team, you’ll learn how to create a vibrant outdoor space that delivers colour across all seasons — without the constant replanting and cost of annuals.

Why Avoid Annuals?

Annuals offer quick bursts of colour, but they only last one season. By the time autumn rolls around, they’re gone — leaving you with bare soil and the same job to do next spring. That means:

• More expense
  
• More time spent planting
  
• More waste
  

There’s a better way.

The Secret to Lasting Colour: Perennials & Shrubs

The key to long-lasting garden colour is to plant perennials and structural shrubs. These come back year after year, often growing stronger and more beautiful with age.

On our One Day Gardening Course, we’ll help you select and plant the right combination of perennials, bulbs, and shrubs that suit your garden’s conditions — ensuring colour from early spring right through to winter.

Here are just a few favourites to bring lasting colour to your space:

• Rudbeckia – golden blooms that last from late summer into autumn
  
• Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans) – a climbing showstopper with vibrant flowers
  
• Iris – graceful spring blooms in a range of stunning shades
  
• Agapanthus – bold summer colour with minimal maintenance
  
• Salvia – long-flowering, wildlife-friendly, and easy to care for
  

Add in evergreens for year-round structure, spring bulbs for early cheer, and ornamental grasses for movement and texture — and you’ll have a garden that changes beautifully with the seasons.
