Friday Favorite: Springtime Cassis
September 9th, 2016
This spring, I started seeds for Springtime Cassis. They germinated beautifully and I had a mass number of plants to use in the garden. When they started blooming I loved their variety of colors.
I expected them to quit blooming once the hot weather and the drought hit, but they just kept on going and going. They’re still looking fantastic and blooming beautifully.
Generally I’m not a huge fan of annuals, they’re a big showy and flamboyant for my tastes. These beauties are different, from now on I’ll be starting a flat of them every spring.
What’s your favorite annual for long term color?
Susy, I don’t really have a favorite. I’m still playing the field to find the one that really gives me excitement. I have a flower bed in the entrance of Terra Nova Gardens that I built two years ago but have not planted any thing in it yet. I’m thinking about Bee Balm for next year. It will be good to attract bees to the garden. Not that I have a pollination issue but a gardener can never have too many bees, don’t you think?
Have a great annual flower color day.
