Default Bring color into your yard over winter - What works?

Class 1 - Festival of Flora
If color is what you want over the winter months you will have to buy annuals. The best plants to use are: Petunia, Snapdragon, Alyssum, Pansy, Penta, Bacopa. These plant will do the best in our cool climate, and should bloom into April. They should be planted in October, then, use lots of Miracle Grow and have lots of color over the winter.
Cation: if it gets really cold you may have to cover them, but they will pop right back.
