In the hot south plants play be different rules. Most Petunias for instance are long gone by now. The only Petunia series I've tried that did well was Vista Supertunia Bubblegum Pink (haven't tried the rest of the colors in this series). It was pretty amazing considering most other Petunias were fried by mid July.......I tried a couple of new annuals (in my zone) this year that have been a major disappointment. Angelonia anyone? I kept reading about how good it was in the south. While the plants still look healthy (a bit sprawly though), the blooms disappeared over a month ago. ....So my question to you is are there any annuals that you were disappointed with or impressed with over this summer?.....Maryl
