If you are dreaming of a beautiful spring garden full of colorful perennials and cool season annuals like foxglove, hollyhock, Iceland poppy, primroses, snapdragons, pansies, and nemesia, now is the time to plant them so they will be established and ready to bloom next spring. If you wait until after the holidays, the weather will be too cold for them to get established and you will have to wait until the warmer days of early spring and then you will only get a few months of bloom from the cool season flowers. Start now and they will take off at the first signs of spring and you will be rewarded with a full and colorful garden bed as soon as the weather warms up.
