Full Sun Annuals

Annuals for full sun are the easiest way to pack your sunniest beds with season-long color. These plants love six or more hours of direct sunlight per day. Those hot, bright spots in your yard are exactly where they belong. Because annuals complete their life cycle in one season, you get to reinvent your garden every year. Try new colors, textures, and combinations each spring.

At Garden Crossings, we hand-pick our full sun annuals for vibrant performance all season long. You'll find trailing varieties perfect for containers, upright bloomers for garden beds, and everything in between. Plant them in your sunniest spots and they'll reward you with nonstop color from spring through the first frost.
