 What is the difference in annuals and perennials?
- Perennials come back every year. Annuals must be replanted.
- When is it time to plant annuals?
- After the danger of our last freeze -- usually by mid-April. Some annuals like Periwinkle and Moss Rose actually do better if the soil temperature is even warmer -- in May. Although Pansies are cold hardy annuals and are planted in the Fall.

- Yes, Vinca Major, Vinca Minor, Moneywort -- both green and golden, Sedum -- numerous varieties, Aguga, Coloratus, Potentilla, Verbena and Ground Ivy. We will be glad to bring in other ground covers that we do not stock on a regular basis if it is available.
