Annuals

Tips for success
Growing results may vary by region

Watering

Sufficient watering is a must! Try not to let the soil completely dry out. To determine if your plant needs water, press your finger 2 to 3 inches into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. Overwatering can be as damaging as under watering. Be sure the area surrounding your plant has good drainage and avoid standing water.

Pruning/Maintenance

Upon arrival, and throughout your plant's life, remove wilted or discolored foliage to encourage new growth. If the plants begin to look leggy, cut them back by about one-half of their height. If weeds grow around your plant, pull them, including roots, as soon as they appear.

Containers

Some annuals can be grown in containers, too. Choose a pot that is large enough to allow for plant growth and spread, and be sure it has adequate drainage. Container plants will require more frequent watering.


Discard the plants once they have finished flowering at the end of the season or after first frost.
