SunPatiens are large plants best used in big, bold beds, at the back of a bed of annuals or, if you have large containers, in sunny patio pots. Their overall height can be affected by the distance between plants. Crowd them close together â say 12 inches apart â and you will have taller plants.
Common annuals are marigold, vinca, begonia, coleus, zinnia, impatiens, petunia, nasturtium and pentas. But climate plays a big role in determing an annual plant's lifecycle â some varieties of daisies, geranium, lantana, mandevilla, pansies and verbena are perennials in warm climates. few other plant types are often mistaken for true bulbs because they grow the same way. For example, bearded iris is a rhizome, crocus and gladiolus are corms, and dahlias and elephant's ear are tubers. Find the best bulbs for your zone in our plant finder.
