There are many awesome annuals at Diane’s Greenhouse. Many bloom all summer without any additional labor throughout the summer. Our favorite is “supertunias”. They bloom all summer, no matter how hot it gets. You don’t have to pick the dead flowers off either. But you must remember to fertilize, they like fertilizer. We use “Daniels” fertilizer. You can feed your baskets and containers once/week. It really will make a difference.

If you need help in planning a stunning flower bed or container, just ask, we will help you pick out the best plants.
Some of our favorite annuals for 2010 are Salvia-Black and Blue, Eucomis-burgundy, Bacopa, all Supertunias, King Tut, Diamond Frost and Dragon Wing Begonia. The Dragon Wing Begonia is good for sun or shade-you really should try it.

As I recommend for everything: Add a 2-3” layer of mushroom compost to your flower beds.  This is your fertilizer for the season and it makes a big difference in the heat of summer.
