How to use annual flowers and plants to add personality to your garden.
Annual plants germinate, grow, flower, set seed and die all in one growing
season. The first frost usually signals the end of the season for annuals
and most need to be replanted each year. Some will set seed if the flowers
are left to produce seed heads and return the following year.

WHAT IS AN
ANNUAL?
The term annual refers to those garden flowers that complete their
life cycle in one growing season. This means seed is planted in
the spring, the plants grow, flower, set seed and then die usually
after the frosts in the fall.
Annuals can also be classified based upon their tolerance to and
ability to withstand cold.
Hardy annuals
Hardy annuals are those that can stand the most cold and can tolerate
cold soil, cool air and light frosts without being damaged. Ornamental
cabbage and kale, pansy, snapdragon, sweet alyssum, calendula and dusty
miller fall into this category. These can usually be planted about four
weeks before the frost free date in your area.
Half-hardy annuals
Half-hardy annuals can tolerate cool soils and cool air but are damaged by
frost. Ageratum, geranium, dianthus, lobelia, petunia and gazania are
examples. These can be planted about two weeks before the frost free date
in your area.
Tender annuals
Tender annuals need both warm soil and warm air temperatures to grow well.
These do not tolerate any frost and if put out too soon into cold soil,
tend not to do much growing until temperatures warm. Begonia, coleus,
vinca, salvia, zinnia and impatiens are examples. These are best put
out on or a few weeks after the frost free date when both soil and air
temperatures warm.
