I've just had our garden completely removed and re-landscaped at long last.
Trouble is, it's a lot later in the year than I'd planned. I'm looking for
some planting suggestions for things I can buy now and will survive the
winter.


Almost any hardy herbaceous perrenial and any 'nursery stock' eg hardy
shrubs, can be planted later in the year.. In fact right through the
dormant season for most trees and hardy shrubs.
High summer is NOT the ideal time to plant anything unless you can
afford to water and care a lot in the initial period oafter planting.

See also whats looking good at the moment in local garden centres and in
neighbouring patches for an idea of what does well in your area.
