I'm new to gardening and I live in central Scotland. I have a small sunny patch in my garden where I'm hoping to plant some flowers that bloom throughout the seasons. I'm looking for suggestions on what to plant and tips on how to keep them thriving!

If you want flowers all season, try mixing in some daisies and cosmos for summer color, and maybe some asters for fall. They’re hardy and do well in sunny spots. Just remember to deadhead the flowers to encourage more blooms!
Since you have a small space that gets about 7-8 hours of sun, consider planting some perennials like lavender or geraniums. Both bloom beautifully and can come back year after year. For seasonal blooms, maybe mix in some annuals like petunias or pansies. Just make sure to water them regularly and give them some compost to help them flourish!
Definitely add some mulch as well! It helps retain moisture and keeps those weeds down.
