Annuals as edging plants in your garden

Annuals for borders and edging

Annuals are great for borders since they provide so much color during the growing season. They do require some planning and work to get a great effect but it's worth it. Pick the plants carefully so that they don't get too high or spread too quickly and be sure to check the other sections here for other growing conditions on many of these plants.
