I admit to being infatuated with colorful annuals, especially in the spring when the garden centers are full of them. I get a little carried away then. But without them, my garden would look pretty sad in August and early September. 'Victoria Blue' is one my favorite standbys--it looks good up until a hard frost.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-12612182570076736192011-10-03T11:10:18.010-07:002011-10-03T11:10:18.010-07:00What a beautiful park Jennifer.

For a long time annuals seemed like a waste of money since they needed to be replaced yearly but finally I realized nothing else provided that season long color. Sometimes if I don't have room in my beds for them, I fill a container & place it nearby. Easy to move around too.<br />p.s.

My annual pentas love the cooler, moist weather and provide nectar for the hummers. I grow perennial ageratum here.

The annuals in my garden are still going strong right now despite the cooler temperatures and rain while most of the perennials have packed it in.

I have asked myself that very same question (why don't I plant more annuals), but I'm afraid the answers are: <br /><br />1) I'm afraid they will take more water than I have time to give them (because maybe their roots don't go down as far as they would need) and <br /><br />2) I'd rather pay my money for things that will come back.

As to the planting of annuals, I use them as color bridges through the hottest part of the summer and couldn't imagine gardening without my coleus, sweet potato vine and zinnias.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-32234058562350073202011-10-01T09:55:28.635-07:002011-10-01T09:55:28.635-07:00Gorgeous!

The garden beds, such as they are, are quite root-bound with our trees and don't get enough sun. Also, our dogs would probably annihilate any small plants. As it is, I have quite a battle compromising between their needs to romp and play and my own need to have a semblance of a garden. Can't wait to see what you do in your stunning garden next year!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.com
