| What flowers would look best and are easiest to make a kids' garden designed to look like a rainbow? Starting with red, I'm thinking of salvia? Then marigolds, then I need a green, then blue then finally a purple flower. For green I was just thinking of using lettuce. I was also thinking of a "pot of gold" at one end, but what should I use? Any thoughts? |

Red: Salvia, Dianthus, Petunia
Orange: Marigold

Blue: Evolvulus ( I found a blue, creeping variety- annual )
Purple: Salvia, Petunia, I'm assuming: Annual garden, full sun, accessibility to plants. Hope that helps! |

| For green in my own garden one year, I used a Zinnia--I think it was 'Green Envy'. Eleanor |

| I've seen that zinnia in catalogs, it looks like the best green flower choice for us. |

| Teddy Bear Sunflowers grown in pots might do for the "pot of gold". They stay real small in pots, the more you cram in the smaller they are. These are mine from 2001, child is 4. Hmm, but they won't bloom until September.
