Annuals
Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one year. Because of this, they are not assigned to climate zones as perennials are. An annual germinates from a seed, sends out roots, shoots, and flowers, and ultimately sets seed. The goal of every annual is to set seed and ensure the survival of the species. Once seed matures, the life cycle is complete, and the annual plant dies. Some annuals have their life cycle interrupted by frost before they can seed. Blooming annuals usually boast incredible flower power, blooming with abandon all season long. Other annuals, such as coleus, offer stunning displays of foliage that add color and character to any space.
These annuals are some of the most popular choices for gardeners and we offer them year after year. We have several different varieties of each, and in several different sizes from 6-packs to hanging baskets to mixed containers.
