If you haven’t had the urge yet to mosey through your local nurseries, the fever should hit you any day now. Where I live, frost is still a possibility so I am looking only at color spots. Here are five beauties that stood out above the other blooms at OSH and Green Acres.
Above and below
Ranunculus: tubers or perennials; all zones; full sun;
1.5 feet tall
Nemesia: perennials and annuals; zones vary by species;
full sun
Gerbera Daisies: annual and perennial; zones 10-11;
6-12 inches tall; full sun; part shade in hottest areas
Dahlia Hypnotica Orange: tuberous-rooted perennials;
all zones; full-part sun; 15-19 inches tall
All of the above are suitable for growing in containers.
