Annual Flowers and Plants

Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one growing season. They deliver long-lasting color from spring right through the first frost. Unlike perennial flowers, you replant them each year (and that's actually one of the best things about them). This gives you the freedom to try new colors, varieties, and combinations every season. 

At Garden Crossings, our summer and spring annuals come in a wide spectrum of colors and textures to bring vibrancy all season long.

Why Gardeners Love Annual Flowers

Annuals are perfect for filling bare spots in your landscape and infusing your garden with color. Because these yearly flowers complete their growing cycle in a single growing season, you have the freedom to completely change your color scheme, style, or layout. They also grow very well in window boxes, hanging baskets, and pots. When designing a pot, try the thriller-spiller-filler approach:

  • Thriller for height
  • Filler for density
  • Trailing spiller to cascade over the edges

Just choose your annuals based on your temperature and sun exposure. Garden Crossings features spring annuals, summer annuals, and fall annuals, all chosen for quality and performance.

FAQs

Zinnias, marigolds, and Calibrachoa all tolerate high temperatures well and keep flowering through the hottest stretches of the season. These varieties are good choices for full-sun beds and containers in warmer regions. Grouping heat-tolerant plants together keeps a container or bed looking full all summer.

Trailing varieties like Calibrachoa and Bidens cascade nicely from hanging baskets, while upright types such as Aster and Begonia fill out garden beds and borders.

Yes, annual flowers complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season and do not return the following year. This means gardeners replant annuals each spring, which also allows for easy color changes and design updates compared to fixed perennial plantings.

Begonias are among the most versatile annual flowers, performing well in both shaded containers and sunnier garden spots. This flexibility makes them a practical choice for mixed-light areas where other annuals might struggle to bloom consistently.

Varieties like Bidens, Calibrachoa, and certain Aster types are bred to flower steadily through the summer months. These annual flowers typically need minimal deadheading and respond well to regular watering and feeding, maintaining vibrancy all season long.
