What summer flowers are good for pots?
Whether you want to love the overflowing exuberance of petunias and vinca, the look-at-me silhouettes of celosia and craspedia, or the lush beauty of zinnias, marigolds and dahlias, these annuals are all ideal for planting in pretty pots and space-saving containers. Geraniums, petunias and mums are just a few colorful, easy-to-grow plants to consider for pots and other containers.
What is the easiest outdoor potted plant to keep alive?
Some of the most popular low-maintenance outdoor potted plants are purple fountain grass, rose, rosemary, garden sage, winter jasmine, fuchsia, japanese maple, and thyme. Pennisetum (fountain) grasses love growing in a full sun container. My favorite is ‘fireworks’ purple fountain grass, but if you can’t find it, the regular purple fountain grass will do. Perennial switchgrasses are great thriller plants too.
Which plant grows faster in summer?
Sunflowers, zinnias, nasturtiums, and spider flowers are all fastest growing plant flowers that bloom quickly from seed. Garden experts agree that calendula is the undisputed champion of fast-growing flowers. Germination occurs just five to 10 days after planting, and blooms appear within six to eight weeks. These flowers make excellent additions to vegetable gardens since they attract pollinators and beneficial insects.
