Flowering annuals remain the fastest and easiest method to fill your spring garden with colour.
They may be old, old favourites, but modern annual cultivars have been bred and selected to deliver colour and flower variation that's better than ever. They're also more resistant to diseases!
Newer varieties of pansies flower over a long period and are much more heat-tolerant than the old varieties, which means they're able to continue blooming from spring into early summer.
Poppies create new magic each year when their hairy buds open to release the brightly coloured ‘crepe paper’ petals.
Each stem of P. malacoides supports its own self-contained bunch of dainty flowers. As long as they have plenty of water, primulas will do well in full sun or light shade.
The bluest of blues makes low-growing lobelia an unforgettable sight in the garden. It can also be planted as a ground cover, in large tubs, or made to trail from hanging baskets.
A mix of brilliant, jewel-like colours makes cinerarias a popular choice. They grow happily in the shade but won’t handle frost.
