Annuals

Annuals are perfect for brightening your garden, window boxes and containers. They provide vibrant colour, shape, and texture to any garden, and with proper care, annuals will provide continuous blooms until frost arrives.

 

With so many annuals to choose from, it is important to understand the different growing conditions required per plant. Annuals can vary in size, required sun exposure, growing and soil conditions.

Hardening off and transplanting your seedlings

It’s springtime and if you started your seeds indoors, you’re probably very excited to move them to that perfect spot in your garden.

Hardening off is the process of introducing young seedlings to the outdoor elements. This process typically takes place over several days up to a week.
