You have to choose them depending on whether they will be in sun or shade, how tall or sort you want them and of course what colours you want. i would also find out whether they need any care to keep blooming. Some plants need the finished flowers to be cut off to continue to bloom nicely and fully eg cosmos and others just look after themselves and bloom away all summer long. some will even last into fall and through frosty days eg snapdragons another thing to consider if you are planting in pots is to have 2 forms of plants in the pots. one kind that grows up and the other that will trail over the egde and down ( either a little eg lobelia or a lot eg wave petunia<br><b>References : </b><br> for bloom throughout the summer you need to have annuals and any will do great.

another thing to consider if you are planting in pots is to have 2 forms of plants in the pots. one kind that grows up and the other that will trail over the egde and down ( either a little eg lobelia or a lot eg wave petunia

If you want flowers for the sun begonias, zinnias, geraniums, grebera daisies, and lantana which is a nice vine like flower. Impatients are great for shady spots. I would go to a nursery and see what you like. Tell the people what you are trying to do and what you like and they should help you create a great present for your mom.<br><b>References : </b><br> Annuals are great because they bloom almost all summer.
