Petunias

So long as petunias are given partial or full sun, they’ll flourish all spring, summer and fall.

Begonias

Begonias are ideal for shaded gardens as they thrive in low-sun conditions. Additionally, they exhibit remarkable tolerance to drought and can endure ample sunlight. Whether planted in containers or directly in the ground, these easy-to-grow flowers will flourish with minimal effort.

Zinnias

When these adaptable flowers get full sun, they can grow up to three feet in height. However, they will also do well in shade

Marigolds

These low-maintenance flowers flourish in full sun and merely need occasional deadheading to bloom beautifully throughout the fall. They can endure infrequent watering as well. Marigolds boast a pest-free nature, making them excellent companion plants for vegetable gardens, as they help deter potentially harmful insects.

Pansies

Pansies, a favored cool-season flower, are delightfully undemanding, needing only minimal deadheading to maintain their blooms throughout spring. Their popularity also extends to fall landscapes, as they are among the top-selling bedding plants. For optimal growth, pansies prefer soil temperatures ranging between 45°F and 65°F.

Snapdragons

These resilient flowers bloom with energy and endure challenging weather conditions during both spring and fall. They thrive in full sun and demand well-drained, fertile soil to flourish.

Butterfly Milkweed

These flowering plants excel in various soil types and once established, they demand minimal water to thrive. Their attractiveness lies in their ability to attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators, making them a great addition to any garden.
