Re: Winter annuals Sunset Zone 11?

**"* M* <B*@verizon.net>**

A lot depends on heat, but in Zone 11 you can have snapdragons, petunias, 
dianthus, phlox drummundii, strawflowers (Helichrysum), and much more. Some 
tender perennials such as impatiens, small dahlias (which need summer 
protection), and coleus can live for years in this usually frost-free 
climate. Tender annuals such as marigolds can usually get through but you 
should get new plants in the fall. The old ones eventually get tired and die 
of old age even when it does not freeze.

More ideas can be found in "A Cutting Garden for Florida" (Betty Mackey and 
Monica Brandies). 3rd edition, 2001.
