What annuals are you planning on planting this year?
Just looking for ideas. Last year I loved my portulacas but I hate that they only bloom for a short time and then you have to wait for a new bud.
I don't want to do impatiens this year, last year they got so huge they were like bushes. They took over everything.

Re: What annuals are you planning on planting this year?
sorry, impatiens! I love that they do well in a shady area I have.
Otherwise I just go to the nursery and grab whatever pretty flowers I see for my deck planters

Re: What annuals are you planning on planting this year?
I just planted more impatiens in my front flower beds and flower pots that are on my deck.
I am in the process of creating a flower bed that goes along each side of my brick walkway and there will be more impatiens in there.

Re: What annuals are you planning on planting this year?
My impatients did the same thing last year in a few places, but I love their colors, so I planted those, along with marigolds (keeps the bunnies away) and a hydranea.

Careful with hostas... they take over. you really have to prune these and shape them the way that you want them to grow. Mine got big and bushy. I wound up ripping them all out. (they were here when i moved here)

Re: What annuals are you planning on planting this year?
I ended up putting petunias in the beds. I also put in some catmint, salvia, 2 different kinds of phlox, geum, and a tri-color sedum.
