Whether you’re looking for low-maintenance perennials, vibrant annuals, or pollinator-friendly flowers, we have everything you need to create a breathtaking outdoor space that thrives year after year!
 

🌼 Why Choose Perennials & Annuals?

✔ Long-Lasting Beauty – Perennials return year after year, while annuals offer bold seasonal color.

✔ Versatile & Easy to Maintain – Perfect for garden beds, borders, containers, and landscapes.

Perennials are long-lived plants that die back in winter but return each spring, offering continuous beauty with less maintenance.
 

Popular Perennials We Offer:

  • Daylilies – Hardy, low-maintenance perennials with vibrant blooms.

🍂 Fall Mums & Asters – Perfect for autumn color
🎄 Winter Greenery – Poinsettias, Holiday Wreaths, Christmas Trees
 

🌱 How to Care for Perennials & Flowering Plants

✔ Watering: Most perennials need 1-2 waterings per week. Annuals dry out faster and may need daily watering in summer.
✔ Sunlight Needs: 🌞 Full sun plants need 6+ hours, while 🌿 shade plants thrive in 4 hours or less.
✔ Fertilizing: Use slow-release fertilizer in spring for perennials, and bloom-boosting fertilizers for annuals.
✔ Mulching: Apply a 2-3” layer of mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
✔ Deadheading: Removing spent flowers encourages longer blooming. Some plants self-clean and do not require deadheading.

💡 Pro Tip: Divide perennials every few years to maintain plant health and prevent overcrowding.
