ANNUALS ~
For masses of constant color in beds or containers, annuals are the best. Simple to plant and easy to maintain, annuals can turn your yard into a beautiful garden almost instantly, providing color and visual appeal all summer long.


WHAT IS AN ANNUAL?
An annual is a plant that completes its life cycle, from seed to bloom and back to seed again all in a single growing season.

Most annuals perform best if given a head start indoors, especially in northern climates where the growing season is shorter. So when you buy seedlings in pots or flats from a trusted grower like FECITY, you'll have beautiful blooms from early in the spring right through until fall.


WHY GROW THEM?
Annuals allow you to experiment with different designs and colors every spring. Since there are infinite varieties available you will never run out of choices to keep your garden looking beautiful.

Create a formal garden to tame a wild space; plant a relaxing informal garden with a free flowing design that imitates nature; put in a cutting garden of zinnias, snapdragons or pansies for a boundless supply of fresh cut flowers all summer long (the more you cut the more they bloom!); plant annuals to colorfully fill in spaces when your perennial garden is in between blooms; or create a border of annuals to edge your walkway or house, it will enhance the look of your home with beautiful colors.
