and be ready to grow rapidly when warm weather arrives next spring: calliopsis, cornflower, larkspur, Johnny-jump-up, and annual poppies.
When planting hardy annual flowers in the fall, make a shallow, wide furrow. Sow seeds thinly in a band about 3 or 4 inches wide and cover lightly with soil. Space the seed wide enough apart to allow some of the young plants to be easily transplanted into more desirable locations in flower beds and borders.
Mulch fall-sown annuals with coarse material to reduce erosion and damage by rapid and extreme changes in temperature. Mark the rows carefully so you will know where to look for young seedlings next spring. Remove the mulch after cold weather is past but before the plants start to grow.
