ANNUALS

The Island Pride Garden Co has numerous different annuals to choose from.

• Annuals will bloom all summer long and will not come back next year.

• Annuals are used as a group or mixed with a perennial garden.

• Perfect for containers and window boxes.

• The Island Pride Garden Company has over 300 varieties of perennials.

• Perennials are planted for their blooms and the foliage color and variety of textures.

• Perennials will return from year to year and spread the work load of the garden out over a longer period of time.  Usually the perennials bloom during a portion of the year, so are generally mixed with other plants to give an all season of bloom.

• Some perennials are tender and do not over winter in our growing climate (zone 5) and are sold because they are wonderful to use in our gardens as annuals.

• Many of the new container plants are tender perennials.        

• There are two types of perennials, herbaceous and woody.  Herbaceous are like a day lily or hosta and woody is like a tree or hydrangea.  It comes back from a permenent woody structure.

•  It's all about putting the right plant in the right place.
