Episode 93: Flowers That Love the Cold?! Hardy Annuals to Plant Now

Most flowers sulk when it gets cold. Hardy annuals are the ones that actually like it.This week we’re talking all about hardy annuals: the flowers that can handle frost, grow roots through the cool months, and bloom earlier and bigger than anything you plant in spring. We cover what makes an annual “hardy,” how timing changes in a warmer zone like Meg’s 8a versus a colder garden like Dagny’s, and our favorites to start with, like snapdragons, sweet peas, larkspur and bachelor’s buttons. If you’ve only ever planted flowers in May, this one might change your whole garden calendar.🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our website:gardengirlspod.comOur main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-gir… us on Apple Podcasts:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-pod… us on Instagram:instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Dagny's Tea Garden E-Book:shop.thecottagepeach.com/products/growing-your… Planting Calendar:meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/all… our podcast and get exclusive bonus content:patreon.com/c/GardenGirlsPodcastEpic Gardening:shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
