My front flower bed has gone to ruin. Hubby thought it would be great to put some wild petunias in there. The flowers are pretty, but the plant is ugly, and has crowded out almost everything else.

I don’t like anything too tall there, and had some hyacinths for spring, several miniature rose bushes for the rest of the season and violas for edging. All with yellow, purple, and white theme.

So I’m wanting to plant somethings that are edible, pretty flowers, and smell good. Lots of research to do this winter for that.

I used to plant wave petunias every year. I became disappointed in them and tried begonias a few years ago. Now that’s all I put in for annuals in my flower boxes and down at the barn. Lots of mass color. The hummingbirds are all over them right now.
