Helpful Tips

There are annuals that tolerate more sun or more shade than others, but there is a few things that most annuals share in common.

They like to be hydrated, so water them. There is not an exact science and consideration must be given to rainfall, region, time of year and other external factors.
They like to be fed, so feed them. There are any number of plant foods that claim to be the best. They all come with directions. Try different ones until you find one you like. Some are organic, some are not.
Some require “deadheading” for the best performance. Deadheading means to remove spent blooms to make way for new blooms. Set aside a few theraputic moments a week to give your plants a trim.

A little attention to your plants will pay dividends!!
