I was driving around and saw this patriotic display of petunias.
I thought it would be fun to compile a quick list of red, white and blue flowers to put together for a patriotic display this 4th of July.
Here are a few you can group together including a few shade ideas.
RED: petunia; salvia; geranium; flax (wildflower); impatiens (shade).
WHITE: petunia; alyssum; geranium; flax (wildflower); erigeron (Santa Barbara daisy, drought), impatiens (shade); violets (shade).
BLUE: petunia; salvia; flax (wildflower); bluebells; campanula portenschlagiana (drought and shade); violets (shade); pansies (shade).
