Let’s ‘annualize.’ Even low-maintenance gardeners rely on annuals to carry the ‘color baton’ May through October, especially in shade. A few well placed annuals can unify gardens and ‘keep the light on’ when others around the have checked out. Some great picks are Supertunia, Lantana, Cuphea ‘Vermillionaire’, Portulaca, Superbells (million bells), Catharantus (vinca), Torenia, Browallia, Begonia (wax, benariensis), Sunpatiens, Coleus, Zinnia in the Profusion series, Superbena, Verbena bonariensis, and Lobularia ‘Snow Princess’.
