Geranium

They are commonly seen in bedding schemes in parks and gardens, but can also be grown indoors as houseplants if given enough light. More compact erect and trailing varieties are ideal for window boxes and hanging baskets, in association with other half-hardy plants like lobelias, petunias and begonias.

Coleus

Decorative foliage with many shades of colour. You can grow it as a single plant or in arrangements, in both shady areas or full sun.
