Default Flowers In Barrel

I have acquired half a barrel which I am going to put in my garden.

I want to have bright/colourful flowers in it - all year round - or for as
long as possible - swapping them in/out as necessary.

I am thinking of Bizzy Lizzies - Primulas - Polyanthus - any other
suggestions or comments please.


Marigold (Tagetes) "Naughty Marietta". It flowers from around June to
November.
Lobelia "Crystal Palace" or another trailing/pendant lobelia.
Dwarf Nasturtium to trail over the barrel edge (it will survive not
being watered if you forget and everything else dies).
