Annuals
Annuals are the most temporary of plants because they only live one season but the impact they have on the garden makes them a must have plant. Their whole purpose is to add lots of color from spring until frost. Annuals are fast growing, hard working plants and every garden should have them! Gardeners no longer have time to replant entire flowerbeds year after year and a popular trend is to mix annuals, perennials and shrubs together. Annuals are perfect for filling in with pockets of bright, vibrant color. Perennials are an excellent investment because they return year after year, but unfortunately most of them have a ‘bloom season’ that doesn’t last all year. Planting annuals is one of the easiest things you can do in your garden to make it colorful and interesting. Feed them with a granular, slow release ‘bloom booster’ fertilizer and add organic matter to the beds each year to get the best performance.
Below is a listing of summer annuals that we stock.

Water Wise Flowerbed. Photo on left- pansies, violas, pink Knockout rose. On right, same flowerbed in August- zinnias, gomphrena, lantana, roses- with no supplemental water. It's all about the soil and plant selection- click on the "Water Issues" tab on the left side of page for tips.

Diamond Frost Euphorbia- winner of hundreds of awards and one of the best selling annuals of all time. White, dainty flowers cover the plant all season with no dead-heading. Deer-proof, loves heat, very drought-tolerant. In flowerbeds, mixed containers, and baskets it weaves its way through the other plants but never takes over. Aways a sell-out. Pictured on left with "Rio Rose" portulaca. This combination is great for a hot sunny area. This window box is on a brick wall facing west. That's hot!
