26 Annual Flowers for Year-Round Color

Pansy And Erysimum
Fall, Winter & Early Spring: This fragrant combination thrives when temperatures are on the cool side. All three of the plants unfurl fragrant blossoms, adding another dimension to cool-season scenery. ‘Citrona Orange’ wallflower (Erysimum) holds court in the center of the pot, surrounded with ‘Matrix Purple’ pansy and the cheerful whiskered petals of ‘Sorbet Orange Duet’ viola. A ring of ‘Easter Bonnet Violet’ sweet alyssum spills over the container rim. Tucked into pots in autumn, this planting delivers strong color through the season’s first frost and beyond in mild winter regions. Southern gardeners can expect pots to look great for holiday company. In northern zones, this combination should flower until hard frosts are a nightly event.
