Cool Weather Annuals

 

It's Spring!..the season with all the crazy unpredictable weather. And with all the nice weather we've been having it's very tempting to start planting outside, but since it is so early it's probably best to hold off  planting most annuals until later in the season. There are, however, many annuals that can handle some cold weather. 

So today we made some cold-hardy annual planters that are easy to grow, fragrant, and beautiful!

 

First we went to the greenhouse and picked out our plants. We got some stock (the beautiful tall fragrant purple and pink flowers), calibrachoa, alyssum, violas, and pansies.

 

We filled up our pots with Gardener's Gold Potting Soil And planted away!

 We planted everything close together so that it would be full right away, but you could definitely space out the plants so that they will grow in together. Then we finished off the planters by adding some decorative moss to the edges and we were done!

Plant lists:
