Plants: Annuals

Annuals are plants that should be installed after the last hard frost, usually Memorial Day Weekend, and will continue growing in size and color until the first hard frost in the fall. This group of plants will add color in the garden continually as long as they are watered and maintained properly. Here are some varieties we carry.
