Premium Color is VIVA!'s answer to "What are the best plants to accent my garden?" This group of plants includes traditional annuals, annuals that behave like perennials, and some true perennials. You will also find regional favorites in this category. Gardening today is all about color and the mixing and matching of plants. Containers may have anything in them from annuals, perennials, shrubs or evergreens – all put together with flair and style. Mix your heights; add plants for foliage texture or background color. Experiment, be brave and bold as you can replant and move the plants to different settings if you feel the urge. VIVA! Premium Color – is a collection of some today’s best new color choices. New in the lineup this year is the wonderfully scented Heliotrope ‘Scentropia’, a full-sun flower that will give a soft fragrance to any patio or deck. The use of fragrant plants is increasing as home decorators try to stimulate all the senses with their gardens. With soft blue, lavender or silver white flowers, ‘Scentropia’ is easy to grow, thrives in heat and full-sun and will stay a manageable height in a patio pot, half barrel of large window box.
Don't miss out on the joy of annuals. They will brighten any landscape, hanging basket or container garden throughout the year. |

While the perennials are always there, certain times of the year their color may not be. This is where annuals are great for the garden as they fill in those times during perennial resting. Even when the perennials are in bloom, the annuals become the belts, purses, shoes and earrings that accessorize the garden. Banks of Petunias and Marigolds offer great blocks of summer color for the sun with Impatiens of all types bringing a delicate wash of color into the shade gardens all summer long. They don't need to be flowering annuals either. Annual foliage plants like Amaranthus, Coleus and Dusty Miller pack a big punch in any garden with their distinctive foliage; Dusty Miller even rewards with clusters of bright yellow button-like flowers as well.
