We
love to see colors in our gardens all year round.
Sometimes the weather doesn't permit us to have
such lovely sight.
Well, here are the most dazzling choices for sun
and shade.
Annuals that thrive in pots which will give you
color times ten from spring to fall.
Pansies (Viola
X wittrockiana)
Great burst of color, companioned with spring
bulbs. The flat, face-like flowers are loaded with
personality. Grown easily from seed and are good
for cutting, lasting several days in water. It
only needs sun or partial shade.

winters are mild, spring to fall where summers are
cool. |
