Annual Plants

Annual plants add sizzle to the garden design with their brilliant colors and season-long blooms. I'm a big fan (even though I grow many more perennials). You see, there's little point in being a garden snob and only growing one kind of plant or other. If you like it - grow it. And who's to tell you differently given that it's your garden?

I like annuals. Always have. I mean, what's not to like when something blooms all summer with no work, no fuss or muss and gives you tons of seed to do it all over again the following year?

This is the main linking page to the annuals we grow in our gardens and this page will link to how-to-grow articles about them all.
