Growing from Seed

Annuals for container plants

15 years ago

I want to start annuals for my container plants this year. Any recommendations for fast blooming and/or foliage plants/combinations easily started from seed?

Planters different sizes and some sun, some shade. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Nancy

hmm.. easily started from seed.. so many to choose from. Park seed has a search engine that lets suggests all kinds of easy annuals a few off the top of my head that are easy are...
Petunias, verbena, zinna, alyssum, coleus, ornamental peppers, and lobelia are the ones I an think of at the moment.
