This seems to like it here,

so what else would do well and give colour all summer?
But in terms of good value I think I'd go for a Euryops chrysanthemoides
or
pectinatus. Unless you really want to dead head them, you don't have to
do
a thing to them other than water them. They 'stop' themselves and throw
out
another shoot which then flowers and throws out another shoot which then
flowers and so on and so forth. I should think ours are in flowers 8
months
out of 12, maybe even more. We have them in pots and in beds and banks.
They won't take deep prolonged frost though.
Thanks Sacha.
Sounds nice but I think the frost could be a problem for them here, we
had -14 one night three years back.
Mike
