I was at home depot yesterday and decided to pop into the nursery. Not
much there but I did see a few plants that look like they might work in
my small garden. I'm a novice at this and they didn't have much help
answering questions.....

I saw a plant called a Snapdragon that says it would be good to add
height to a garden. Approx. how tall will this grow and does it need
staking? The picture was not really great and the plant had few blooms
on it now, but when in bloom, are they big, small? It looked to me like
a mini Stocks....??? Is this plant pretty hardy? partial sun/full sun
ect?

Also, I saw some nice pansies. I shy away from them as they just seem so
delicate to me. I tend to like hearty plants as I don't want a garden of
wilted and sorry flowers. Are pansies as fragile as they appear? Could I
use them say, in front of the Snapdragons and mix them with Impatients,
or would the Impatients grow to be too tall and thus be best for any
pansies to be down in front? Are they sun lovers - full/partial ect?

Saw some nice Gerber Daisy's. I think these might look really nice in
some terracotta pots I have, approx. 12 inches at the mouth....approx
how many plants should I put in the pot (assuming they are good in pots)
for a full bunch of flowers? Also, should I put some med. sized rocks in
the bottom of my pots then put the soil over it to allow for drainage?
there is a pre drilled hole in the bottom of the pot, but I'm not sure
if I need to put 12 inches of potting soil in it. Are Gerber Daisy's
fairly easy to care for? Lots of sun, little sun ect.

Finally, I saw two plants I don't know the name of but the ticket said
they would be good for edging. The first had lots of small white flowers
on it. If planted in mass, it looks like snow. The second flower was a
small bloom, about 1/2 the size of an impatient and it was a purplish
blue with a bright yellow speak in the center. Could these be planted
under bushes out front? They would get morning direct sun then indirect
light after 12 noon. the bushes don't hang down as they are trimmed up
very nicely. I thought it would be pretty to have some color, like a mat
of blooms under the green of the bushes....any thoughts?

Thanks
