Annuals vs. Perennials
Unsure of what kind of plant to invest in for your garden, containers, or landscape? Let’s learn the differences between annuals & perennials, and discuss what options are available. Both have a spot in every garden!
Additional Information
Annuals and perennials have very different growing requirements. High impact summer color can be achieved with annuals. Perennials can provide habitat for butterflies & bees. Integrating both will give you color and foliage nearly year-round. Many factors can influence your decision, such as location, expense & maintenance.
Planning can often be the hardest thing to do in a garden.
Planting is the fun part!
Restrictions:
Availability: Anytime BUT limited daytime availability during months of March through June (I work at a Garden Center)
