Fall annuals add a variety of textures, color, and interest to a garden. Though they only live for the season, it is well worth the effort to plant these lovelies in your outdoor sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p>Plant them where there are blank spaces. Before planting, check out the surrounding colors and textures of the foliage. You want to choose a color and texture that will complement the other plants. Also, consider the height of the surrounding plants. It\u2019s best to match the height of others if the gap is next to the existing plants, or choose flowers that are shorter if the gap is in front of them. Create a tier effect so that all is seen.<\/p>\n<p>Fall annuals like cooler temperatures. Begin planting them when the temperatures dip at night. This will help them look and stay fresh through the heat of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Most fall annuals will continue to bloom until the first hard frost. Here are some annuals to select.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Viola<\/em> <\/span>\u2013 like its cousin, the pansy, viola likes cooler temps; it will flower well into the fall and mid winter;
