What is easy to grow in tubs?

What can I grow in a tub that is easy to care fore?

Petunia's every time. Wonderful colour and oodles and oodles of flowers and all you have to do is water, feed and deadhead. Will last all summer

easy to grow in tubs are : violas, pansy, all types of petunia, marigolds, antirhinums, carnations, geranuims, salvias...............Planted out in May and June all summer bedding will flower continuously throughout the summer months and also into the autumn...

Plenty to choose from there Pinky, I must try and plant some flowing tubs, mine just have leafy plants in.

well do be carefull wot you start plant out at the mo... watch out for frosts.... im sticking to flowering shrubs for spring, then when may arrives i can add much more colour and get started with the summer bedding once the threat of frosts have passed..... i have loads of smaller plants and a few acer trees getting established on my bay window...(im running out of room actually.

Nasturtium's are really easy to grow.
i don't live in tod, but am only a few miles up the road, so the weather here doesn't differ to the weather there (much!) and i've thrown some nasturtium seeds out both this year and last.
i'm not very green fingered at all, i try my best but when it come's to actually growing anything, i'm not much use.
however, i just literally chucked these seeds onto the 'border' patch out front (which is really just some dirt with bark on it) and they came up great last year, loads and loads of colour and they trail aswell !!!
i threw some out in about february this year and they're just starting to develop buds ready to flower this summer, great stuff if you're impatient like me lol!
marigolds are always quite easy i think, i've managed to grow them once or twice, so they can't be very hard to do lol!

if you can find the right flowers, you can have loads of colour and variety at barely any cost.
