Flowering Annuals to brighten up your day

Flowering Annuals in containers create an air of joy and happiness around the house. The good thing about having the annuals planted in containers is that you can adjust the weather conditions by moving the containers if necessary.

Flowering annuals when grown in containers and placed around the house are as pretty as a picture. They can be grown in large containers with masses of different colors mixed together, or you can have a more structured planting to create patterns with the colors. Alternatively the flowering annuals can be planted in smaller containers and displayed as you wish when they start to flower.

Keep in mind that if you want a massed display of various colored flowering annuals you will need to plant them in a large container or put several smaller pots in a large container for display. To make the large containers mobile make sure you have wheels under them so that you can move them around when you need to. It’s a good idea to rotate plants so that you always have the best ones on display, and you can do this easily if they have wheels.

There are many flowering annuals to choose from when thinking about planting up containers for color and fragrance. The following list is certainly not exhaustive, but will give you a good start when you are looking for flowering annual plants to display.
