Annual flowers experience one season of sprouting, blooming and growing before dying once the cold weather sets in. The most economical way for you is to use annual flower seeds instead of plants. You can get 1,000 seeds for what on plant would cost. Most of them don’t need regular fertilizing and are relatively easy to care for. Just a little fertilizer at the time the seeds are planted is generally enough for the year. And because annuals don’t last through the winter, there is no need to take any special winter precautions for them. They bloom, bring beauty to a garden, container or flower bed and then make way for other plants and flowers the following year.
With annual flowers, you are free to experiment with many different types of flowers to see which ones you enjoy most. If you find that one type is difficult to maintain, simply don’t plant that one the next year. There is no commitment when you grow annual plants. You can easily have a completely different garden from one year to the next without having to transplant the old flowers elsewhere to make room for new ones.
Annuals come in every imaginable color and can add a breathtaking array of flower sizes and shapes to a garden. They require very little maintenance and grow into lush green plants that will bring a garden to life with blooming flowers.
Keep Gardening. Jeff
