I would like to know if there is a book or web site that tells you what plants to plant and when to plant them so that you will have some type of flowers always in bloom or other types of colorful plants like coleus growing to make a pretty flower bed. The reason I ask is because I want to have two big hedges removed, one on each side of my small porch. But I need to know if I can keep something colorful and pretty growing there year round so I will not have two big empty spots on each side of the porch during the winter. I am wondering if we have annuals or perennials that bloom in the winter months so that I have something pretty and colorful all year. I'm not sure if I'm making sense or not. I just want to keep something blooming all year long so that I will have something pretty growing all year round. Right now I have 4 big hedges, two on each side. The ones on each end I like so I will leave them where they are. But the other ones I don't like for some reason. I have permission from my landlady to rip out anything that I don't want and to plant whatever I want so that is not a problem. I just need to know when to plant things and what to plant. Am I making sense? This time of year I have a tiny little garden in front of one of the hedges. It has coleus and a few other things that are in season right now. But when it gets too cold for them, what do I plant then? Thanks for taking time to read all of this. I know it is long so I'll stop now.
Thanks,
Jesse
