Additional Information
Unsure of what plant to invest in for your garden, pots, or landscape? Annuals and perennials can be very different depending on their growing requirements. High impact summer color can be achieved with annuals. Perennials can provide habitat for butterflies and bees. Integrating both will give you color and foliage nearly year-round. Many factors can influence your decision, such as location, expense, and maintenance.
Planning can often be the hardest thing to do in a garden; planting is the fun part!
