Calendula
Also called pot marigolds, calendula flowers are deep orange to light yellow in color. They start blooming during early summer and blooms till the time frost arrives. These plants are low, compact, self-seeding and about 20 inches tall. Once planted, it takes about 5 days to about 15 days for the seeds to germinate. As it’s a cool season plant, it can be planted indoors to start with about 7 weeks before the last frost after which you can plant it outdoors. While planting calendula make sure that the plant receives ample sunshine.

California poppies displays lively colors and are long lasting. They are self seeding plants and can grow to about 12 to 16 inches in length. They grow well in full sunshine and can tolerate poor soil conditions. It is preferred to directly seed them, as disturbing the root system may harm the plant. Early spring is the best time to sow them as the soil still remains cool. Once sowed, the seeds usually germinate within the next 10 to 15 days.

Snapdragon

Ingenuous to Mediterranean and southern Europe, the plants grow to about 1 to 3 feet in length and are self seeding annual plants. These flowers flourish in cool climates of the latter half of spring and grow best in well-drained soil. If the temperatures are high for longer periods of time, these plants would not flourish.
