I love annuals. They add color to everything. Yes, you have to buy them every year...but I even like that too.
What annuals can you not live without?
Mine are...
Coleus
Wave Petunias
Impatients
Trupet Vines
Geraniums
Begonias
These are must haves every year. What are some you must always have?

have to get Oor Wullie or the Broons on the alternate year. I know they're for kids but they always give me a nice nostalgic feeling.

I always have trailing petunias on my front fence, and pansy's, begonias and lobelia in all my other pots. I only 'do' pots thats enough 'gardening' for me!

I love annuals... but, for the most part annuals are only annuals if they don't come back the following year... so in that sense most of my annuals are more like perennials since I either bring them in and cut them back... sometimes down to the bare root or bulb... but since I've had the greenhouses and the conservatory... nearly everything returns... and I'm propogating many of my plants or removing seed nowadays... and even got into creating new varieties and species...

You named most of my favorites, but I will have to add fuscias for hanging baskets, mairigolds to keep bugs away, and lobelia. Don't know if I spelled em right, but I right like em alot.

You guys sound busy! Me too. I do coleus, impatience, geraniums (but I over winter them), lobellia, wave petunias, nicotiana, sunflowers (the gold finches love them). I also do tender perennails that some people treat as annuals. I love my tuberous begonias, caladiums, dahlias, callas, colocassia, oh shoot, I just have tons.

Impatiens, begonias, and geraniums are a must. They hold happy memories of my childhood because we always had them when I was growing up. This year, I plan to do 2 of my hills in wildflowers. By the way, I brought one of my geraniums in this fall and it's blooming.:-6
