It might be good just to go to the garden center and see what you like in the annuals section. They should already be a good size and blooming.

Watch out if you go to Home Depot or Lowes. Many of their annuals are treated with neonicotinoids and there may be a label telling you that, but it’s usually hiding behind the regular label. Neonics are a systemic pesticide that has been detected in the nectar of flowers and may be contributing to the decline of the honeybees who feed on those flowers.
