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?

How about love-in-a-mist and cornflowers I used this mixture once and it
didnt seem to be too slug tasty. It did self seed a bit tho ;-)

Well reminded! we used to do cornflowers, they were excellent so I shall add
them to the seed list. Love in the mist regrettably I love, but it loves
this garden and took over chocking everything so it had to go.
