My landscaping company manages a large commercial account in Spanish Fork called ModusLink. Today we went down there to plant summer annuals in a 10' x 16' x 18' triangle bed area near their guest entrance. Before planting, we added some planting soil and mixed it in with the existing soil. After planting, we sprinkled around some fertilizer to give the plants a little boost. The picture above will serve as a "before" shot and in a few weeks we'll post the "after" shot to show you how it turns out!
My very favorite part of landscaping is adding color to a landscape by planting summer annuals. In my 30 years of experience, I've learned a lot about flower planting, sun exposure, color arrangements, and how to make a flower bed look great.
Here's a list of what I used in this job:
3 - Coleus (each a different variety): 4" cup
2 - Potato Vines: 4" cup
3 - Delphiniums (they were already there)
12 - 'Wilhelm Languth' Geraniums (with variegated leaf): 4" cup
1 - flat of 'Victoria Blue' Salvia
1 - flat of 'Ice Crystals' white Alyssum
1 - flat of Profusion (mixed) Zinnias
24 - 'Bubblegum' (Proven Winner) Petunias: 4" cup
What summer annuals do you like to plant?
Have you planted them already?
