Can I mix different types of annuals in the same planter?
Absolutely! In fact, mixing different types of annuals in one planter can create a stunning, dynamic display. I love combining plants with different heights, colors, and textures. For example, I might pair tall snapdragons with trailing petunias and compact marigolds to fill in the gaps. Just make sure all the plants have similar sunlight, water, and soil requirements so they thrive together.
