Hi guys,
im new here and new to gardening, would really appreciate your help in
helping me out on a project i want to undertake.

Aim: I want to create a flower bed represnting the India flag. Orange
White and Green with central Blue circle.

Time: It needs to flower around August 2012

Space: I want to fit it in a space 2m x 1m

Size: I would really like flowers that stay at a low-level with a thick
coverage so the pattern is easily noticeable.

My suggestions would be:

Blue, White as trailing lobelia
Orange as calendula (or low growing French marigolds)

Green as thyme or a low growing hebe

Chosen on the basis of being easy to grow.

Would really appreciate any advice here, the main thing would be the
actual flowers.

Thanks for your time, hoping you can help.

Doubtless others will have suggestions. Quite a few people in our
village are planning to do red, white and blue plantings next year.

Any suggestions for a foolproof low growing red flower?

Regards,
Martin Brown
