Helpful Tips

While some annuals can tolerate more sun or shade than others, there are a few things they have in common.

They like to be hydrated. There is not an exact science, and consideration must be given to rainfall, region, time of year and other factors
They like to be fed. There are many plant foods that claim to be the best, but there is no clear winner. It’s best to try different ones until you find one you like. Some are organic, some are not
Some require “deadheading” for the best performance. Deadheading means to remove spent blooms to make way for new blooms

A little attention to your plants will pay dividends!!
