Annuals
Planting annuals in beds or pots marks the beginning of a season-long show of eye-catching flowers and leaves. Annuals race through the growing season, unfurling flowers and colorful foliage until frost arrives on the scene. Knowing when to plant annuals helps get the seasonal show off to a solid start.
Below are our top 3 picks of Annuals
PANSIES
come in an endless variety of colour combinations, many of which have markings called “faces”. Mini-pansies are heavy bloomers that often reseed. Perennial forms are often called violas.

It is a cool season flower that can be set out in early spring. In frost-free climates, Sweet Alyssum can also be grown throughout autumn and winter. Most varieties will fade in the heat but bloom again in the autumn.
