Annual Plants

Though they only last one growing season, annual plants are a great way to add color and life to your garden. Annual in plants and flowers come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and species, so it’s easy to find the perfect match for your landscape. And because they start blooming soon after planting, you can enjoy their beauty all season long.

Whether you want to add a pop of color to your front porch or create a vibrant flower bed, annuals are a great choice. Here are some tips for choosing and caring for annual plants:

When selecting annual garden plants, consider the amount of sunlight the area receives. Some annuals require full sun, while others do better in partial shade.

Pay attention to the mature size of the plant. Some annuals can get quite large, so make sure you have enough space for them to grow.

Remember that annuals will need regular watering, especially during hot, dry periods. Check the soil before watering to make sure it’s not too wet.

If you’re planting annuals in containers, choose a pot that is large enough for the roots to spread out. Be sure to use a good quality potting mix and fertilize regularly.

Pinching back the stems of annual plants will encourage them to branch out and become fuller.

With a little care, annual plants will give you months of enjoyment. So go ahead and add some color to your landscape with these beautiful flowers.
