I plant different annuals in this deck box every year. I love the Salvia 'Blue Streak'. The Zinnias are Profusion Double Cherry, my favorite because they're mildew resistant. Deck Box Garden

Absolutely gorgeous Connie! Did you grow them from seed?

When gardeners garden, it is not just plants that grow,
but the gardeners themselves.

Thank you Sue!  Yup... I'm too cheap to buy annuals. LOL The only thing not started from seed is the Bacopa (small white flower in front)... a friend gave me a few plants she had left over. They just came out with seed for that this year, but it's expensive. I'm going to try taking some cuttings, but I've read it's not the easiest plant to propagate.

Thanks Maw, Sharon, Coco... Susan, if I did it for a living it wouldn't be as fun! Smile

The blue flower is Petunia 'Blue Wave'. It actually looks quite a bit more purple than blue to me, but it must have looked very blue to my camera. LOL!
