By planning what colors to plant, the gardener creates a theme for the design, or a color scheme. There are at least six different color schemes to choose from and they mostly refer to positions on the color wheel. Each evokes a different psychological response.

Monochromatic color schemes use one color and its various values (tints and shades). Such schemes have harmonious visual effect.

Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Depending on the color, a warm or cool effect can be achieved
ANALOGOUS

Complementary color schemes use colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Each complementary color adds to the intensity of its opposite.

Primary color schemes use the three primary colors, red, yellow and blue. They are bright and energetic, especially when used together. Primary colors may be too visually jarring. This is easily corrected by using shades or tints of the primary colors together.

Riotous color schemes are best defined as the use of multiple colors in a vibrant and bold combination. This is the most difficult scheme to achieve successfully. With the use of so many colors, some may clash, and the human eye may have nowhere to focus. This scheme can be too energetic and visually stimulating; therefore, repeating colors is important to ensure unity

Pastel color schemes use color tones to create soft and subtle effects in the landscape. Pastel colors combine best with other pastel colors and work well with plants with silver or gray tinted foliage.

When seedlings are grown inside in a controlled climate, they don’t have the opportunity to develop the strength and structure to live out in the elements. They need to get acclimated to their new home.

Plant on a cloudy day if possible.
For tender annuals, plant when the night time temperatures are reliably above 50°.
arrange plants—in their pots—in the pattern you’ll follow when planting.
Space plants according to their mature size.
Water well immediately after planting.

Plants need 1” of water/week. Deadhead your annuals to
keep them looking fresh. Keep and eye out for pests. Identify the pest to know how/if
to treat. Keep the garden weed free, as
weeds can be pest vectors. Fertilize when needed, either
with a slow release fertilizer or once every 2 weeks at half strength, or 4 weeks at full strength.
Keep plants clean by clearing out dead/dying material.

Once you’ve gotten hooked on the world of annual flowers and all the possibilities they open, you can change your garden theme each year, and even alter it season to season, much like a painter choosing his palette.
I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers~Claude Monet
