Best Annual Flowers To Plant This Year
Are you looking for the perfect addition to your garden but just can’t commit to one that will return year after year? If this is the case, annuals are a great fit. They add a tremendous amount of color, without the price tag or the commitment of perennial flowers.
So what are the best annual flowers to plant in your garden this year?
Here is what made our list:
Begonias
Perfect for containers and filling garden gaps
Grows best in afternoon shade
Keep the soil moist but not drenched
Geraniums
Can be kept indoors through winter

Allow soil to dry before watering
Pansies

Marigolds

After planting, we always recommend applying a layer of organic mulch to your garden to retain moisture, prevent weeds and enhance the overall soil composition. Give us a call in our office to inquire about our organic mulch available for pickup or delivery!
