A lot of people (myself among them) first plant up pots which sit in the top of the chimney pot, so that you can change the display as you like, or to have something on display all year round. just a thought..... :-)

Big question, lots of answers! Phormiums look good in chimney pots (but don't put redleaved ones in terracotta pots, colours look ghastly together!) If you want summer flowers, surfinia petunias trail, but you'll need an upright in the top as well, say an upright fuchsia or geranium. Or how about marguerite as upright with Felicia as a trailer, plus a bit of Lamium White Nancy as contrast. Check out bacopa, cascade geraniums, trailing begonias, trailing fuchsias (all summer bedding stuff). Lamium hardy. All the bedding annuals mention like lots of sun, though Fuchsia likes half sun. Lobelia, bedding begonias, busy lizzie, pansies, fuchsia for shade. I could go on for hours ....
