Pansies
Though they come in a variety of hues, the most eye-catching are those with pale flowers and dark patterned centres. Unlike the black-eyed Susan, the charming, inquisitive ‘faces’ of pansies will likely inspire a more playful touch in your designs.

Petunias
Also available in myriad shapes and colours, the boldest are those with white-to-pink blooms and dark centres. With petals that are often diaphanous and frilly, these beauties evoke a more romantic, feminine style.
