Growing from Seed

Annuals for container plants

13 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

Petunias, verbena, zinna, alyssum, coleus, ornamental peppers, and lobelia are the ones I an think of at the moment.
