I took a walk through the garden centre today to see what we had that was colorful. I found some amazing new annuals and colorful perennials for your consideration.

Not all these selections are in bloom now, some will flower in a few weeks, while others like the Coleus Wizard Velvet Red have such vivid foliage, they just needed to be on this list.
