Top Annual Plant Pairings


Annual Blue Shade
 

Grow a Cool-Color Theme

Dusty miller's silvery foliage sets off any annuals to great effect. Here, it's a perfect pairing for 'Easy Wave Pink' and 'Easy Wave Blue' petunias. Using a cool-color theme is a great way to help your yard look bigger (cool, light colors usually look farther away) and to give visual relief to summer's heat.

Growing Conditions: Full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil.
