7 container flowers to plant in May for non-stop colour all summer long

Pink petunias in container.

As things start to heat up outside, it can be hard to resist diving in and filling up the patio with row upon row of colourful pots and planters. But rather than relying on impulse buys that may fade quickly, choose wisely, and there are plenty of fabulous container flowers that can be planted in May to give non-stop colour all summer long.
