The vibrant snapdragons bloom in a plethora of colors in spring and fall when temperatures cool - the red blooms instantly brighten up your garden. The flowering period is long as the flowers start at the base of the stem and develop upwards. If you water your snapdragons regularly, they will bloom well into October, although they usually slow down and stop blooming in mid-summer.

Zinnien (Zinnia)
From mid-summer to the first hard frost of fall, zinnias will adorn your landscape with a kaleidoscope of color. These plants are best grown from seeds as they are annuals.
