June is the best time of year to plant your annuals. Annuals, often referred to as bedding plants, are plants that live their life cycle in less than one year. So that means that when the frosts start in the fall they will die and not come back next year. Fortunately that means that they all bloom as much as possible so that they can produce as many seeds as possible for next year to ensure their survival. 

There are many great annuals that you can plant in your garden. From Ageratum to Zinnias they can produce a rainbow of colour for your garden. Annuals are great in any garden bed. There are annuals that grow best in full sun like Geraniums and Petunias as well as annuals that grow best in shade like Fuchsias and Impatiens.

February Blooming Annuals!

There are many annuals that can add colour to your garden during the winter and in early spring. Pansies and Primula are the winter workhorses in an annual bed. These hardy plants can survive rain, frost, and even being burried under snow. The heavy rains and frosts can kill the flowers that are open but the plants will continue to produce new flowers well into April and May.

The cold winter months with the rain, frosts, and less sunshine limit the plants that do well. Plants like Pansies and Primula can add some colour to pots, planters, and your garden for the winter months.
