Annuals to Plant with Profusion Zinnias?I would like some suggestions for annuals I can put with Profusion zinnias. They are heat tolerant and don't take much water.

These will go in my flower boxes on the south side. They get full sun. Thanks!

Growing Annuals in Pots Buried in the Ground?I am trying to do something different with all of the annuals in my front garden, as when we go away, they die out.

I hope I am making myself clear.
