ACCENT WITH ANNUALS
Annuals are flowers that only bloom for one season—think geraniums, petunias, marigolds, and zinnias. “Most annuals are not cold tolerant, so you can’t plant them until after the last frost,” Polman cautions, noting that the Victoria Day long weekend is a good time to get started. “A lot of people put annuals in pots because they’re great in limited space. In the garden, put them anywhere you need a focal spot or some curb appeal.” Annuals tend to be colourful and bloom longer than perennials.
