Flowers are one of nature’s couriers of the seasons. In fact, annual flowers on the other hand are wonderful flowers to plant in your gardens. You will find that many of these flowers are admirable choices for the garden as they can be grown in the different seasons. So the best way to choose the type of annual flowers that you want is to decide which flower varieties you want to see. You should buy the annual flowers that are perfect for the required season otherwise your flower plant will rot even before you have a chance to plant it.
When you start choosing your annual flowers you can buy hardy annuals, half hardy annuals and tender annuals. These differences replicate the type of weather and soil conditions that these annual flowers will grow in. Hardy annuals are beautiful plants that will generate flowers even in the cold winter season. The types of hardy annual flowers that you can buy include calendula, foxglove, viola, sweet alyssum, stocks, cornflowers, pansy, larkspur and the many varieties of dianthus cultivars. The half hardy annual flowers contain torenia, snow-on-the-mountain, blue sage, strawflower, baby’s breath, candytuft, bells of Ireland, celoma, love-in-a-mist, and forget-me-nots. These half hardy annuals don’t mind humid cold weather but they can’t live during the cold harsh months of winter. You can choose some affectionate annuals like scarlet sage, morning glory, petunias, begonias, celosia, balsam, nasturtium, and verbena.
These annuals as their name implies are not comfortable in the cold winter months so the ideal time to grow them is three weeks after the last spring frost. Since these annual flowers grow well in warm weather you can expect to see them in all of their glory in the late spring and the warm months of summer.
These are just a few of the many annual flowers that you can grow in your garden, and the riot of colors that they bring will absolutely make any garden look great. You will also have the extra benefit of flowers that grow in different seasons adding a rupture of color right through the year.
