Hello all, I love seeing what everyone loves and grows. I am a little different from you all. I love the amaranths, loves lies bleeding and the torch varieties. The new ones that I grew last year and loved were the illumination amaranths. I also love petunias, they brighten up the whole garden and often reseed. Nasturtium are a favorite, but my summer gets a little to hot for them. I love any of the begonias with their bright colors. My asarina are perennial here and also reseed, they are always pretty. I grow large leaf caster bean and canna in the back of the gardens.
I do have a lot of perennials and plant the annuals among them. I also throw seed out in the early spring.
