[AG] Annuals for flower bed

[Sue Bass]

Eileen:
You can view a publication we have on line by visiting the
following address:
http://ag.arizona.edu/maricopa/garden/html/pubs/pubs.htm#Ornamentals

Under the category of Flowers you will see publication AZ1100
which includes a flower planting table.  The table provides
suggestions of plants and lists light needs, water needs, bloom
times, etc.

The lawn sprinklers could be a problem however. Most plants do
not do well with overhead watering which causes leaf burn due
to salinity of our water.

> supports vincas nicely, but the other areas
> don't, since they are too shady. Also, the
> lantana doesn't thrive (not a surprise).
