Spring is officially here and it’s time to start thinking about sprucing up our patios and balconies! Sometimes we can put a lot of effort into planting gorgeous flowers only to have them wilt on us weeks later! Here is a list of annuals that are low maintenance that you can use to brighten up your pots and window boxes this year!
<strong>Begonias</strong> are a favorite with many gardeners because of the durability and low maintenance. You can put them in full sun if the soil stays moist or have them in the shade and they’ll flourish.

<strong>Coleus</strong> is an old favorite among gardeners for both indoor and outdoor gardens . The leaves of the plant are the most exciting as they will add texture and vibrancy to your garden.

<strong>Impatients</strong> are a great addition to your pots if you’re patio or balcony gets a lot of shade. These pretty little flowers don’t need to be trimmed or pruned. They will flourish with very little maintenance.

<strong>Petunias</strong> are great for a garden that gets a combination of both sun and shade. They come in vibrant purple and pink hues and as long as their “dead heads” are plucked every so often they will survive through the season.
