Annuals, the star of the garden show!


Annuals are the star of the garden show. 



Place annuals anywhere you want easy to care for plants which will provide season long color. 





Take the time to learn about your annual's requirements and you can add attractive bursts of color which will do well in the sun, shade, climb, trail, are drought tolerant, like moist conditions, prefer the heat, or perform well in the cool season.








Annuals do great as border plants or in containers and can enhance any existing focal point in your yard. In shady areas, brightly colored annuals can be used to brighten your yard. Use cool colors such as grays, blues or violets to a cool, calming effect in bright sunny areas.
