Annual Flowers

Plants classed as annuals are those that complete their life cycle within the space of one year and in this group we find some of our most useful garden flowers. Annual flowers are versatile and sturdy. The annuals have many uses. They are indispensable in the cutting garden, giving a wealth of bloom throughout the summer and early autumn months. They are of value in the herbaceous border, coming into flower after the first riot of spring bloom has passed and carrying gallantly on through the heat of midsummer when many of the perennials are quiescent.

Annual flowers are beautiful and garden lovers tend to preserve these flowers throughout. They dry these flowers and store them for use in several beautiful dry flower arrangements.
