Yes, there is room for annual flowers/plants in the lawn of perennial flowers/plants! We choose to use containers for annuals. Last year we enjoyed ferns on the new breezeway.
Last weekend I planted “Wave” petunias in the old containers. These hang like photos on a wall in an indoor room by decorating the fence “wall”. Cost = $3 each.

The next project was filling hanging baskets. These have another variety of “Wave” petunias. We did three more baskets with begonias. Cost = $5 each (including new cocoa fiber liners).
Hanging baskets
Three pairs of foam containers flank the front porch step. My tradition/habit is to have geraniums and spike plant (foliage). I choose variated Salvia for the largest of the containers. Cost = $4 each.
Front step containers
Last but not least is a pair of containers for purple fountain grass by the garage doors. This terra-cotta looking container has weathered well over 10+ years (unlike the real thing). Cost = $8 each.
