Gerbera daisies, zinnias, marigolds. Almost an endless list of flowers for your climate.

Contact your local Dept. of Agriculture Extension Agent for recommended varieties. You will not only want to consider long-blooming species, but you will also want to consider colors that coordinate and/or complement your landscape and your home, growth patterns and needs, size at maturity, etc.

Hi Lgray,

I'm thinking by continuous blooming you mean annauls. Here's a list from a Florida site. Click on 'Annuals'.
