ANNUALS

That nip in the air seems to be arriving a little early this year, doesn’t it? For some of us heat-loving gardeners, it’s a little distressing. On the bright side, with that chill comes the welcome appearance of colorful cool-weather-loving pansies and violas.

We currently have pansies a-plenty in both economical packs and 3.5” pots. Choose from cheerful “faces”, including bright violet and white, or the “fall feel” of orange and black. We also have faces mixes: ‘Delta Blaze’ or ‘Tapestry’, and ‘Skyline Pink’ or ‘Copperfield.’

In solid colors, light or true blue, orange, purple, rose, yellow and white are available. Or mix it up with combo packs: sunny ‘Delta Citrus’ mix, or bright ‘Delta Pure Colors’ and ‘Tri-Color’ mixes.

Numerous varieties of sweet little violas are also ready to fill up fall containers. Plant them all alone, or try combining your pansies and violas with small evergreen perennials (such as wirevine, cool-looking grasses, heathers, hebes, and colorful ivy). These autumn essentials also can be planted in beds and borders, adding splashes of color to your yard in the cool months ahead.
