Annuals Arriving Daily

An annual plant is a plant which blooms only once, during its annual cycle. Spring annuals flower in spring, summer annuals in summer.

If you plant marigolds by the garden walkway and they blossom in May and you want them there again next May, you’ll have to replant.

Except for a possible stray survivor that may come up next year, those particular plants are finished with their job by your garden gate.

Making for long lasting color and texture in the garden, annuals can be clipped, their spent blossoms removed, and then new blossoms will form. Annuals are inexpensive to produce and obtain. If some of the annuals purchased fail to thrive, they can be ripped out and more annuals replanted. When a bare spot in the garden suddenly appears it'’ a simple matter to buy an annual plant or two and fill in with them until more permanent plans are possible.

Generally speaking, annuals are extremely versatile in the garden, usually bright and outgoing flowers, and predictable in habit. If you grew petunias before, you pretty much know how they’ll grow again. Plymouth gardens has an extensive selection of annuals.
