In the space of a single weekend, a few trays of carefully chosen plug plants can transform your drab winter garden into a bright and welcoming oasis of colour.

Not only that, these extra-special bedding plants will continue to bloom all summer long. Here are four of the new plants our horticultural team recommends for a quick and easy garden makeover.
