A Spot of Color, Right Where You Need It

Planting annuals is a way to add color and a bit of fun in your garden that can be easy and affordable. We’ve compiled this list to help you navigate which colorful annual flowers or foliage plants are best for Austin.

An annual is defined as a plant that completes its life cycle in a single growing period. Here in Travis County, our growing periods are usually punctuated either by heat or frost.

Grow Annuals Like a Master Gardener

In addition to native wildflowers, this list by the Travis County Master Gardeners takes some of the guesswork out of  the best flowers to plant in Texas. These recommendations are from gardeners who have personal experience growing them or are a result of plant trials conducted by Texas A&M AgriLife. Many of these are perennials in other areas of the country; but we’ve found that since they don’t survive our summers, the plants should be considered annuals.

The plants listed in the following tables are grouped by light requirement, bloom season, height, color, fruit, fragrance, reseeding ability, cut flower potential and whether hummingbirds or butterflies are attracted to them. Most of these seeds are readily available. Use the links in the navigation help below to jump to plant groupings.
