Flowers to plant in October?
Are there any flowers I could plant now (3 October) that would survive
and look moderately pretty in a few months? I live near Atlanta. The flowers would be in a big pot that would be in a screened-in porch on the south side of the house. They'd have at least a few hours of sun each day. Temps will occasionally get below freezing in December and January, so I could bring them inside on those days, if necessary. Thanks for any info, Mel |

Torenia pansies allysum mums ornamental kale petunias I just planted my wildflower seeds a week ago. I planted California poppies, bluebonnets, larkspur, nigella and others. These come up every spring, but I still collect seed and put it out in the fall for spring. |
