Gardens Annuals A nnuals, in general, are plants that grow from seeds or cuttings, begin to bloom shortly afterwards, and set seed and eventually die, all in a single growing season.
Annuals have many advantages for the home gardener.
Most annuals are nearly always in bloom throughout the growing season, from late spring until the first frost in fall. Some are even marginally hardy and can survive later into fall and early winter in our area. In the gardening world annuals are unmatched for the shear variety of forms, colors, textures, and growth habits available. Annuals provide a quick, easy, and a relatively inexpensive method of introducing a great variety of interest in your home landscape. Behnke Nurseries carries a huge selection of annuals in every imaginable variety, from packets of seed, to small transplants, to full grown hanging baskets and container gardens.
