Mellow yellow

The zingy yellow-green foliage of the milium and the pale-coloured flowers of the begonia and petunia are perfect for lighting up a shady corner. Both the begonia and petunia have the added bonus of subtle fragrance. The plants will fill out quickly and look good from early summer right through to the autumn when you can dismantle the basket and plant the milium in a shady part of the garden.
