Mixed Annuals Planter - Vinca, Begonias, Salvia, Puple Heart and Cannas - August 2025
This planter outside of an office building has a nice legibility to it: annual vinca (Madagascar Vinca) in the front, sort-of spilling over the front ledge of the bed (or garden box), backed by a white-flowering waxy Begonia. In the corners are Purple Heart Tradescantia (which has a trailing habit). Behind the begonias (and taller) is a row of Salvia. And, in the center? Some tropical-looking cannas. Nice combination that serves as inspiration for an all-annual island bed.
