I plant annuals in a bed in my front yard each year. We alternate between planting begonias and impatiens. I would like to do something more interesting this year - like a mix of flowers. Any ideas of what mix of flowers goes well together? I have a white house with green shutters.
Annuals to plant in a bed? Washington DC area , mix sun/shade.?
Any color will go with your white house. How about red salvia, marigolds or geraniums?
Reply:Hi:
You have a wonderful setting for annual flowers with base colors of green and white. I am a landscaper and designer and you can do a variety of plants. I will link you to the gallery of plants section of my website. I have a page on annual flowers that may give you some ideas. Here are some more suggestions for you:
Coleus is a great accent to annual flowers
Cosmos
Dusty Miller is also a great accent
Geranium
Marigolds
Petunia
Ornamental grass is another accent
Daisies
These are just a few. Check around the D.C. area in nurseries and garden centers, and they should provide you with a good supply for your gardens. Good luck to you. I will also link you to the Site Map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if is any other information that will help you with your gardens. Have a great day!

Reply:You can add torenias, violas, impatiens and caladiums to your choices.
Reply:Pansies, petunias, dianthus, verbena and daisies are a few good choices. Verbena and petunias look pretty together in contrasting colors, my fave is red and purple. Geraniums, coleus, and marigolds are colorful.
