Looking for suggestions and its years since growing any hardy annuals.
Have been remodelling part of the garden and it will be a couple of
years
until the permanent planting is looking good so need to fill some big
gaps.
I want to sow in situ
It must be medium to big in size.
Not too prone to slug attack as the new area has masses of vegetable
matter
in the soil and is bound to be very sluggy.
Not bothered about colour.
Any suggestions?

Sun or shade Charlie ?

Great swaths of night scented stocks would smell amazing
Phlox
Sweet peas - would could grow them up something to fill tall gaps
Cosmos
Foxgloves - there are nice varieties about nowadays - I know they are
biennials, but they seed about so well:~)
Lavatera

Mostly sunny.
I shall probably weed out some foxgloves from the gravel paths to use in
some spaces and I have had great success with Lavatera in the past so will
probably try those again.
Cosmos, is it a hardy annual? I will be sowing in March at latest, outside
in the ground. (No space in greenhouses at that time of year!)
