I was in awe of the unbridled enthusiasm!
When suggestions are not very numerous, and none of those few suggested plants can be found by the person who asked, it can get frustrating. That is all very informative! Never know what will actually be @ a store when one goes. (So go to all of them...? Yes! :+)
My question was to determine if we are looking for plants that have a really long period of bloom to be used one time, or commonly potted entities that can be saved over winter because they are not truly annuals, like wax Begonias, Coleus, Alternanthera, Portulaca, sweet potato vines, zonal Geraniums (Pelaragoniums,) Impatiens, and so many others that are sold as annuals when they are sold where they can not survive being outside all winter.
