Annual Flowers for full sun
Annuals are the work horse of the flower garden. They bloom from Spring through Fall. Here are some annuals for full sun.
Growing Marigolds Pure color for your flower beds:
The Marigold Inca II Orange, 'Tagetes erecta', is an African Marigold that grows to 12 to 14 inches in height. It can bloom up to 7 days earlier than other types with large 4 to 5 inch blooms on strong stems. The Inca II marigolds are sure to stand out and be a major attraction of your flower beds. This Marigold produces enormous double flowers in vibrant shades of gold and orange. They begin to bloom early and continue all summer long until frost. Marigold flowers are abslutely great for massing in sunny beds and borders.
Lantana flowers are an excellent choice for beds or containers. The "Petticoats Lantana" has attractive foliage and the foliage is topped with vividly colored flowers. The brightly colored flowers of Lantana are excellent for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies.
Plant Lantanas in full sun and well drained soil in either beds or containers. Lantana prefers moist soil, but is drought tolerant. Pinch off spent flowers to promote new flower growth. All Lantana plants contain a toxin that if ingested may cause stomach discomfort. Some contact with foliage may irritate sensitive skin. The Lantana is also commonly called a Shrub Verbena. All Lantana's are tough, resilient plants that thrive in hot weather and bloom profusely from spring until frost.
Snapdragons are hardy plants, branched stalks with flowers on spikes in very showy bright colors. These sweet smelling old-fashioned favorites make excellent cut flowers. Growing snapdragons is an easy task. Snapdragon(Antirrhinum majus) flowers are growing best in full sun or light shade and should be planted in rich well drained soil.
