Plant Associations It is sad to reflect that in England so few gardens open to the public label their plants or label them so that the label is visible when that plant is in flower, so that visitors can identify; and then later locate and purchase that plant. Few mail-order nurseries provide the detail as shown in my rose or heather galleries. If you want to sell a product, it is best to display it. When I sold my Transit van, I removed its signage, cleaned it and took photos of the inside and outside before putting them onto an advert in Autotrader amongst more than 2000 other Transit vans - it was sold in 20 minutes. If mail-order nurseries could put photos to the same complexity from start of the year to its end with the different foliage colours and stages of flowering on Wikimedia Commons, then the world could view the plant before buying it, and idiots like me would have valid material to work with. I have been in the trade (until ill health forced my Sole Trader retirement in 2013) working in designing, constructing and maintaining private gardens for decades and since 2005 when this site was started, I have asked any nursery in the world to supply photos. R.V. Roger in Yorkshire allowed me to use his photos from his website in 2007 and when I got a camera to spend 5 days in July 2014 at my expense taking photos of his roses growing in his nursery field, whilst his staff was propagating them. I gave him a copy of those photos. |
Adonis annua (Pheasant's Eye, Adonis' flower, autumn adonis, Autumn Pheasant's-eye, Blooddrops, Red Chamomile, Red Morroco, Rose-a-ruby, Soldiers-in-green) Latin name Adonis is said to remember the young Adonis who was killed by a wild boar; this flower supposedly sprang up from the ground where his blood fell. |
Scarlet The leaves and roots are poisonous to humans and livestock Flowering is followed by an elongated oval seed-head of about 30 olive-green seeds similar in size and shape to grape pips. |
Jun-Jul A winter annual, it germinates at the end of autumn. Always sow on calcareous soils that are not too heavy. |
18 x 6 This species underwent a catastrophic decline in Britain between 1880 and 1950 due to its high sensitivity to herbicides and its poor competitiveness on soils enriched with nitrogen fertilizers. It is now very rare, confined to a few small populations at the edge of fields. |

Ann / Alk Grow in an open rocky site in alkaline soil. Wildflower Garden, Cottage Garden, Bedding ALL PLANTS Page |
A cornfield annual with emerald green, feathery or filigree foliage on narrowly branched stems. From early summer, a succession of small intensely blood red buttercup-like flowers nestle among the soft foliage, creating a strong contrast. Autumn sown plants grow larger and flower more profusely and for longer than those which germinate in spring. |
A wild species with modest beauty, but effective when dotted among perennials in a mixed border or growing in gravel where it will take over from such late spring bulbs as fritillaries or late tulips.

Flowers highly attractive to bees. |
Aug-Sep or May-Jul in the northern hemisphere, Nov-Mar in the southern hemisphere Sow in Seed can be sown onto a bare earth site in the autumn or spring. As the seed is short lived once in the soil it is probably best to avoid sowing in winter or early summer. Corncockle can be established on most soils but does particularly well on free draining sandy loams. Being an annual it requires open ground to re-establish itself, so an autumn cultivation is essential if you wish it to return. Corncockle is often used in association with other cornfield annuals, to provide some first year colour and as a nurse crop when sowing a meadow mixture. |
24 x 24 All parts of the plant are poisonous (githagin, agrostemmic acid). The plant was believed to be completely extinct in the United Kingdom until 2014, when a single specimen was found growing in Sunderland by an assistant ranger of the National Trust. Do not use a fertiliser since wildflowers prefer poor soils. In a garden situation, without long grasses to give support, you may wish to support the plant with stakes. Deadhead to prolong flowering and encourage new flower buds. Leave a few plants to die down and self seed. Others can be pulled up and composted. |
Well-drained soil, preferably poor soil. Lance-shaped, grey-green foliage Not fragrant, |
European Wheat Fields, ALL PLANTS
Do not plant in wheat fields. |
Cornfield annual with long, thin, somewhat lax stems, narrow, slightly hairy leaves and a long summer succession of large, rosy purple flowers, each with dotted lines leading to the centre. Support is necessary, either from other plants or with stakes or sticks. Selections include 'Ocean Pearl' - white with silver lines - and the pale pink 'Pink Pearl'. There has recently been some rather hysterical press coverage about the perceived toxicity of this plant. In common with many wild and garden plants it is theoretically possible to poison yourself if you have the will power to munch through a bulk of bitter and unpalatable vegetable matter but for anyone who is worried may I suggest you visit http://www.kew.org/about/press-media/press-releases/rbg-kew-guidance-on-corn-cockle for a more authoritative answer. One aspect of its toxicity that is worth considering is for anyone that has used a cornfield annual mix as a nurse crop to a meadow and intends to use grazing animals as a management tool. Corn cockle may persist for a couple of years after sowing so we suggest you don't use animals until it has disappeared from the sward. |
Excellent annual for the border back, especially if it can lean against shrubs or come up among perennials with better standing qualities. Also fine in a naturalistic annual border with other cornfield annuals such as cornflower and larkspur. |

Mediterranean species with grassy foliage and silver grey flowers which are broadly oval and furry to the touch, resembling the tail of a hare or rabbit. This grass grows taller on rich soil but thrives as a smaller plant in harsh conditions. A dwarf form, 'Nanus', may be more suitable for gardens with rich soil.
Harestail grass. Sardinia, Italy. By Hans Hillewaert, via Wikimedia Commons |
A worth addition to a grass border, especially if planted with other annual grasses such as Briza maxima, but also lovely among flowering annuals. Scatter seed among pot marigolds, cornflowers or tagetes. Sow outdoors, March-May or August-October, where they are to flower, 0.5cm (¼") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 15cm (6") apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three-week intervals. Sowings made in curves, rather than straight lines, often create a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings. Flowers: June-September. |
Bunny tail grass flowers can last up to 12 months as part of a dried flower arrangement. Cut the stems near the base when loose pollen begins to form on top of the flowers. Gather a handful into a bunch at the base and tie a length of garden twine or cotton string around the base of these stems. Hang the bunches in a cool, dark and dry place for two to three weeks, or until the stems snap when bent. Your bunny tails will last for years in bouquets and arrangements. As summer turns to fall, the Bunny Tails turn to rich tan and dry out beautifully on the plant. You can leave them there -- they make spectacular winter accents, lasting until they catch the first heavy snowfall (or all season in mild climates). How to dye bunny tail grass - a fun project for children. |

Ann |
Almost every child's first plant from seed, since it will flower a few weeks after sowing. Narrow foliage and slender stems produce a short but intense succession of brightly coloured, 4 petalled flowers. Good seed series include flowers in shades of pink, white, cream, purple or near red, but these plants need to grow in bold drifts to create a strong effect. |
Best sown in patches at a border front, with taller perennials behind, or among cottage garden flowers in an informal setting. These are often blended with night scented stock, Matthiola bicormis, for evening fragrance. |

Lacy, filamentous foliage makes a soft and alluring background for the flowers, whose distinctive blue petals nestle among the feathery leaves. Garden series such as 'Persian Jewels' have purple and white flowers, as well as those in various shades of blue. The large, inflated, lantern-like seed capsules are almost as decorative as the flowers and last until autumn. |
A lovely annual to naturalize among roses, especially the older varieties. Also effective for gap-filling, in a mixed border or for lining a lavender hedge. |
The recessive tints of blue love-in-a-mist and dusky crimson-purple Rosa 'Tuscany Superb' set off the bright flowers of Rosa gallica 'Versicolor', while the white rose campion (Lychnis coronaria 'Alba') lightens the ensemble. Fairly hard annual pruning will keep 'Tuscany Superb' at about the same height as Rosa gallica 'Versicolor'. Love-in-a-mist, devil in the bush. By Wildfeuer, via Wikimedia Commons |

Developed in the 19th Century by the rector of Shirley, Rev. Wilkes, from the showiest of cornfield weeds, this series has flowers ranging from lemon through pink to red, some with picotee edges in pale pink or white. The pollen is always golden, in contrast with wild field poppies, whose pollen is dark grey. |
Other annual poppies work beautifully with Shirley seedlings, especially if allowed to naturalize in a gravel garden or sown at random in an annual border with such annuals as marigolds, clarkias, larkspurs and cornflowers.
Beschreibung: Klatschmohn (Papaver rhoeas) Ort: Bad Soden, Hessen, Germany. By Olaf Mertens, via Wikimedia Commons |
Can be combined with other annuals or biennials such as Agrostemma githago, Ammi majus, cornflowers, opium poppies and Phacelia tanacetifolia. Selections of this Shirley Poppy in which scarlet and salmo predominate may be used for harmonies with peach, apricot and white, or for contrasts with pure blue, and also blend well with glaucous, bronze, or reddish foliage. Those with smoky tints work well with carmine, lilac, mauve and magenta flowers, and purple or silver foliage. If given space to make large, vigorous plants, double Papaver rhoeas (Shirley Group) 'Angels' Choir' will bloom into late summer, the red flowers it contains harmonizing with Crocosmia masoniorum 'Dixter Flame'. Although once containing only pastel colours, Papaver rhoeas Shirley Group double mixed now often comprises richer tints, allowing warm-coloured combinations with Calendula officinalis Fiesta Gitana Series. Further plant associations using Briza maxima, Centaurea cyanus, Leucanthemum vulgare, Malva sylvestris, Papaver somniferum and Rosa 'De Rescht'. |

Low-Stress, Hard-Working Annuals for Balcony Gardens by Louise Warner, a Toronto-based landscape gardener "When deciding what annuals to grow on your balcony garden, assess what type of exposure your plants will get. Wind, sun, water and reflected heat are all factors. Unobstructed south- and west-facing exposures are going to demand tough, drought-tolerant plants and daily watering in the high heat of summer. Balconies with sheltered, north, or east-facing exposures generally need less watering, and plants suitable for shaded conditions. Fortunately, there are lots of colourful, no-fail options for low-stress balcony gardening in either extreme. |
||||||||
Annuals Suitable for Full Sun Balconies: Scaveola – A trailing South African native, appropriately a.k.a Purple Fan Flower, gives unstinting colour in the leanest of conditions. Blooms best without fertilizer, and can easily shrug off total wizened dehydration with a good soaking. Great for the absent-minded and people who like purple. Geranium – Available in the upright varieties that have their own frumpy charm, as well as more graceful cascading forms. Tough, dependable and profusely flowering, these are balcony stalwarts. Trailing Nasturtiums – Attractive leaves and lovely flowers running the spectrum from mahogany red to cherry pink, electric orange and buttery yellow. Spice up your balcony and your salads with this edible charmer. Blooms best without fertilizer. Herbs (The Herb Society) – Thyme, sage, chives, rosemary, oregano, basil and mint are all good candidates for a sunny balcony garden. Basil needs extra care because it prefers reliable moisture, while mint is a total thug and doesn’t need much in the way of encouragement. Tomatoes – Cherry, grape and currant tomato varieties are great performers in medium to large containers on the balcony. A mix of red, yellow and orange fruiting types will give lots of colour and flavour. Tomatoes have high fertilizer and water needs, but are worth the extra work. |
||||||||
Annuals Suitable for Shady Balconies: Impatiens – Impatiens will flower all season in shade, given consistent moisture and moderate feeding. Available in white, pinks, salmons and double-flowered varieties, impatiens are tried and true. “New Guinea” or “Sun” impatiens have larger, more vibrant flowers and require more sun than regular impatiens. They are at their best with direct morning sun and afternoon shade. Non-Stop Begonias – Profusely blooming large, full flowers in bright colours make non-stops a non-brainer. Kept on the moist side, but allowed to dry out a little between waterings, these begonias enliven a shaded space. Fuchsias – These trailing plants drip with colour, literally. Large blossoms in combinations of fuchsia, mauve, purple and white are produced in great quantity, even with little direct sun. Keep moist and fertilize periodically. Salad Greens – Leaf lettuce is available in seeds and cell packs and given consistent moisture, is quite easy to grow on a shaded balcony. Speckled, red and oakleaf varieties are beautiful ornamentals that double as dinner. Cut only a few leaves from each plant when harvesting and sow seeds throughout the summer for a steady supply. As you can see, no matter which way your balcony faces, there are plenty of easy and decorative options for container gardening of flowers and vegetables." |
||||||||
The main point about annuals is that they are shortlived. Even the most stalwart, enduring individuals are done after a few months; few even last for more than half a summer and many flower and die within a few weeks. Effective planting, therefore, depends on rotation, careful timing, large numbers and bold placing. If your aim is to be as labour-saving as possible, and especially if your garden is exposed to wind, restrict your choice to those that do not exceed a height of about 400 mm (16 in) to avoid having to support them with canes. |
