...brightening your landscape is as easy as adding a few spots of color with
flowers. You can plant flowers in great sweeps of vivid color of place
those delicate hue in single pots. You'll find hundreds of flowers
available; their blooms range from whites to subtle pastels to bold, vibrant
colors, and their foliage includes every shade of green. You just need
to know a few basics about about annuals and perennials in order to select
the right plants for your particular site and climate. Traditionally,
annuals and perennials have been assigned specific and separate roles in the
garden. This legacy stems from the grand gardens of Victorian and
Edwardian times.Even during the time of the grand gardens, annuals
and perennials were combined in charming ways in English cottage gardens, as
well as in many other nations. There are advantages to this kind of
planting. Many annuals have a long flowering period that perennials
lack, yet many perennials have interesting leaves or shapes in addition to
beautiful blossoms.
