Do you have a few tried and tested annuals, either plants or seeds that you use every year and have come to rely on?
I couldn't do without:-
Morning Glory Heavenly Blue
Gazania Kiss Bronze
Mina Lobata
Cosmos Sonata Mixed
;D
Each year I'm on the lookout for a new 'favourite'....what about you?

Not so much ones I sow every year but the ones I try and make sure are in the garden self sowing themselves are: - calendula, love in a mist, cornflower, californian poppy, verbena b, alyssum, poppy, godetia, honesty and echium. I bought several packets when we moved in and just threw them around. Now I have even more bare soil I'm going to have to spread a few more around!! I'd rather be pulling them up from where I don't want them than miles of bare soil.  |

Sadly, I don't have space to sow annuals. But if I did, I would grow Clarkia and Larkspur. The latter is very beautiful dried.

Gazania, Zinnia and sweet peas ;D
This year I've persuaded my boss to buy some Millet 'Purple Sensation' and Mirabilis jalapa <gotnothingtodowiththefactthatIwantedthemformyselfsmiley>! All have been successfully sown and hopefully Joe Public will like them as much as myself ;D
