We planted this sunny collection of annuals in a child's wagon, but any rectangular planter with similar dimensions will work. Tuck extra bedding plants into fun containers, such as brightly colored beach pails. Be sure to drill a hole in the bottom to allow good drainage. Our wagon includes:

-- Horned violet (Viola cornuta 'Sorbet Plum Velvet')
-- French dwarf marigold (Tagetes 'Bonanza Orange')
-- Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Midnight Blue'
-- Variegated Swedish ivy (Plectranthus coleoides 'Variegatus')
-- Sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Big Smile')
-- Floss flower (Ageratum houstonianum 'Blue Danube')
-- Petunia milliflora 'Fantasy Red'
