Sowing Annuals

Hardy, half hardy and tender annuals are a cheap and easy way of adding color to your garden. They are perfect for filling gaps and for making a cheerful display in a new garden before you have had a chance to draw up longer term plans or before perennials and shrubs have filled their allotted space. Hardy annuals can be sown directly into the soil in autumn and they will survive the winter unprotected ready to produce flowers in the late spring or early summer.

Buying Pot Plants

It is a good idea to choose perennials sold in 3 inches pots because they will establish more quickly than larger plants and cost you a lot less. The exception to this rule is if you want a large number of the same variety, for ground cover, for example. In this case, a bigger plant that is well established in its pot is worth buying because it can be divided into many smaller sections before planting.

Buying Perennials

Spring is the best time to buy perennial plants. Garden centers, specialist nurseries and gardening websites offer the greatest range of varieties at this time of year, and the plants will also be coming into growth and be ready to plant. Perennials are a large and varied group and there are types to suit every garden situation, regardless of soil type or whether the garden is in sun or shade. Most perennials are herbaceous, which means they die back to ground level during the winter months and then produce new growth each spring from dormant underground roots.
