Garden Affair : Winter annuals for shallow pots

                                  

Happy new year everyone. The year has started with spine chilling winter waves in our region presently which has led to fall in temperature in many areas in our region. It was just a day back that temperature was recorded lower than 30 F thereby it is still a long wait for  spring annuals to bloom .Hereby  in this post I will throw light upon some Winter annuals in our region which can be grown in shallow pots owing to there small roots.The flowering  plants with small root formation can easily be grown in Shallow, small pots and  it is due to less availability of space for growing winter or spring annuals these below plants can be easily grown in small balconies and spaces in small pots or hanging baskets.



                                                              Pansy

                                                                         

Pansy is one of the most unique and rewarding winter annual which can easily be grown in shallow pots and hanging baskets as they have small roots .They are easiest plant to grow in any kind of pots and flower beds.


                                                          Cineraria

Cineraria Flower is one of the most attractive low maintenance plant that grows well in semi shaded areas .It can be easily grown in shallow pots and hanging baskets .

                                                           



                                                        Petunias

             Petunias are best plants to grow in shallow pots and hanging baskets since they are quite hardy winter annuals which can be grown in small pots or flower beds as they adopt to every situation easily without affecting the blooms.


                                                        

                                                                            Alyssum

                          Alyssum is annual that is best suited to be grown as a border plant for other spring annuals and its fragrance that resembles warm honey is pleasing.They add so much beauty to the hanging pots and small flower beds.


                                                         

                                                                      Calendula


                                                                     Calendula also known as pot marigolds have shallow roots and look stunning when grown in profusion in a row or even in hanging baskets.




It is the time for link up party Garden Affair which is related to topics pertaining to Gardening ,growing plants or flowers.It invites everyone who want to share information, experience or photographs relating to nature.

When there was a rise in temperature in the beginning of this month it felt like its time to bid adieu to Winters but the cold weather persisted with sudden occurrence  of hailstorm in my city .It created havoc in my garden as well and envisaged in the extension of Winter days .

Meanwhile some perennials left there hibernation to show some blooms 



                                                                  Tecoma stans or Yellow bells 
                                                                    
                                                    
                                                                               

                                                                    
                                                                            








                                                            Curtain Creeper blooming
