We have listed many of the main types of plants, shrubs and trees that are locally produced and sold here in the Ottawa Canada region. No flower garden is complete with out having some roses. They come in a large variety, from the beautiful hybrid teas to the climbing shrubs. In the harsh northern climates, most will survive the winter if they are properly covered. There is nothing as nice in a garden as a bed of scented and unscented roses.
Annuals are flowers that most people buy and transplant they right into their gardens.
What makes annuals such a good buy is that most varieties will flower right from the time you buy them until the snow covers the ground. Perennials allow gardeners to create versatility in your garden by providing plants that winter well. From spring to fall, various varieties will provide flowering periods anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks. Plant them once and each year they will come up. But if you think that they don't have to be attended to - think again.
