A cushion of flowers cascading from a flower box under a windowsill always attracts the eye and seduces the soul and a few pots and urns overflowing with flowers instantly transform a patio into a paradise!
It's not difficult to understand why annuals are so popular: they have so many uses and they just don't stop flowering. Let's face it; they practically monopolize flower boxes, pots and hanging baskets.
A cushion of flowers cascading from a flower box under a windowsill always attracts the eye and seduces the soul and a few pots and urns overflowing with flowers instantly transform a patio into a paradise!
It's not difficult to understand why annuals are so popular: they have so many uses and they just don't stop flowering. Let's face it; they practically monopolize flower boxes, pots and hanging baskets.
What makes them attractive?
Already flowering in early spring, they continue to do so into late fall;
Annuals can go anywhere in your garden: on your patio, at the foot of trees or shrubs, in hanging baskets and pots, near the pool, in the vegetable garden, on your balcony railing and at windowsills;
They allow you to create a new décor every year, changing the whole look of a flower bed and permitting experimentation with various compositions and styles from one year to the next;
As soon as they're planted, you can start enjoying them;
They're not invasive and they form borders that will stay clean and orderly throughout the season;
Some of them make very attractive cut flowers.
With their enormous ornamental potential and many other advantages, annuals deserve every gardener's attention. Be imaginative and experiment with them a little bit; annuals won't let you down.
