Annual Flowers for Sun
CALIBRACOA
If you haven’t tried the best plant on the planet, make this the year you do! Calibracoas, also known as Million Bells, are easy care, pest free and versatile.
Good in sun or part sun, they have a spreading, mounding, trailing habit and come in every color imaginable, from true yellow to deep red to wonderful bi-colors.
We carry over 20 varieties, including some doubles! Fertilize daily or weekly for best results.CALITUNIA
What do you get when you cross a Supertunia and a Calibracoa? A Calitunia, of course. Calitunia blossoms are bigger than Calibracoa, smaller than Supertunia, but with the great habits of both. So far only available in pink. Full to Part Sun.

LAURENTIA
The fern-like foliage of this plant is smothered with star-like blue blossoms all summer, and even through the first frosts of fall! Full to Part Sun.SUPERTUNIAS
You gotta try Supertunias! These very aggressive petunias bloom down the stem (instead of just at the tip). They do not need dead-heading to keep blooming. We are growing over 25 varieties of Supertunias, Surfinias, Cascadias, Charmings, Jamborees, Fames, Waves and Whispers. The more you fertilize the better they’ll do: daily or weekly for best results.
COLEUS
How do you make a bold color statement without flowers? Coleus. These bright beauties have been bred for the sun. Their variegated leaves are striking combinations of lime, burgundy, orange and red. Combine them with Lime Potato Vine and you’ll have a knock-out combo, all without blooms!EUPHORBIA DIAMOND FROST
Make this the year you jump on the Euphorbia Diamond Frost bandwagon. This plant starts off scraggly-looking, but soon explodes into an incredible mound of iridescent, tiny white flowers. There’s a reason why it wins top honors at every flower show!GERANIUMS

VINCA COOLER
Let us turn you on to a little-known plant called Vinca Cooler. They do terrific in hot sun, poor soil, and for neglectful waterers! And you’ll be thrilled at the beautiful colors.
ZINNIA
Looking for deer-resistance, heat tolerance and colorful, long lasting blooms? Then consider Zinnias. They come in short, medium, tall and very tall sizes. Never let water sit on zinnia leaves. Water at the base of the plant, avoid overhead sprinklers, and water early in the day.
