Annuals for a Color Punch!

Dazzling with a limitless selection of colors and forms, annuals are some of the most versatile garden plants. From enchanting classics to cutting-edge bloomers, annuals flourish for one season, but flower all through the summer often until frost.

Designing your garden with annuals gives lots of importance to flower color. They offer any gardener the opportunity to experiment and be creative. Annuals can brighten drab corners, dull patios or empty borders with a mix of colors. They are among the most adaptable of plants, requiring little more than good light, water and reasonably fertile soil.

Whether you'd like to create a spectacular ever-changing annual border, design a drought-resistant display, lighten up a shady border, or illuminate your garden, annuals are excellent way to infuse accents and color into your landscape.
