Annual Color


What are annuals?

Annuals are plants that live their entire life in one growing season / year. Perennials live & bloom year after year & Biennials grow one year & bloom the next. Often times these plants will die after flowering & setting seed. Annuals are strongly seasonal either being cool or warm season growers. Sometimes annuals can live over to become short lived perennials but they usually die after two years.

Landscaping With Annuals

Using annuals in the landscape is like using color in a painting. Annuals need rich soil & more water & fertilizer than most landscape plants. Arrange plants by size & by color contrasts & harmonies.
