Annuals are flowering and foliage accent plants grown from seed or cutting that are bred to grow and give you color all season long.  Although annuals will only last one season, their color display makes them well worth the investment for your landscape.  It also allows you to change your color scheme from year to year.

Before planting annuals, you first need to determine the amount of sunlight the plants will receive.  We have a few definitions for you to go by:  Full Sun= six hours or more of sun; Sun/Part Sun= 4 hours or more hours of sun; Part Shade/Shade=morning sun only, no hot afternoon sun OR bright, indirect light.  After determining what sun exposure you have, we will be able to help you pick out the best plants for your area. 

Correct Watering Habits are essential with all annuals.  Water daily during the summer, when the nights have finally warmed up.  Fertilize your annuals bi-weekly with a blossom booster like Jack’s Classic. 

Here at Hickory Grove, we have a tremendous selection of Annuals in all sizes.  Below is just a sample of our annual selection:

We not only grow our own baskets, flower pouches and patio containers, but we also hand pick the ‘best of the best’ plants from Proven Winners,  Simply Beautiful Gardens and other growers of premium annuals.  When planting our Hanging Baskets and Patio Pots, we pay close attention to the plants we are choosing.  Our combinations are chosen because they work well together, require the same amounts of sun and water, need minimal care and because they look beautiful in a mixed container. 

For example: Our trailing petunias are grown from cuttings, not seeds.  What does this mean to you?  NO DEADHEADING!!!  They will bloom continuously without needing to have seed pods removed.  All you have to do is water and fertilize.  What a time saver!!

We carry many sizes of hanging baskets.  Our standard 10 inch basket is available in many varieties for both sun and shade—over 40 varieties to be exact and in every color in the rainbow!

We’ll even give you printed care instructions with your hanging basket, flower pouch or patio container purchase!
