Materials Needed: Perennials, annuals
Cost to Make: $10-$20 per plant*

When you’re thinking about what to plant, you’re probably focused on getting healthy plants. Secondarily, you should think about the way you want your garden to look. Do you want leafy greens? Or a pop of color? If you want color all year ‘round, don’t be afraid to mix annuals and perennials together.

Interplanting perennial varieties with annual flowers will keep your garden colorful as the perennials bloom. For example, marigold, zinnia, and calendula, all annuals, go well when they are teamed with perennials such as daylily and coreopsis. You can even sometimes combine the two in a pot, as long as they have needs that are compatible.
