Bedding Plants are mostly comprised of annuals. Annuals are plants that grow, bloom, flower and die in one season. They are used to give gardens all-season color and dramatic ‘pop’. Annuals come in many shapes, sizes and sun tolerances. Our availability varies throughout the season but we strive to carry a wide and unusual assortment for every gardener’s needs.
