Had a wander around Corbridge today and saw some beautiful flowers

Can anyone give me instructions on how to achieve something like the picture please.

    Its a bit late as Theyre summer bedding plants, but those are:

    Pink cosmos

    Yellow marigolds

    The wee ones at the bottom are lobellias

    I forget the other.

    Basically they are common bedding plants you’ll find in a supermarket next year. Put them in a pot of compost and watch them grow

    You can probably put a quick display up using established plants from garden centres, but it’ll only last a couple of months max. Better to buy flowering autumn bulbs in pots this time of year if you want lasting colour now

    Cosmos, marigolds and some trailing lobelias… (and I believe coreopsis bengal tiger) I imagine that compost has water retaining crystals and lots fertiliser!
    It looks lovely.

    Our cosmos, marigolds and lobelia come to think of it have been amazing this year, they are all still going strong. Cheap, simple and as you say fantastic.
