Angelonia is a very pretty annual flowering plant...that the deer do not like it.

Many people want a low-maintenance garden, yet no garden is truly low maintenance, but one possibility is an informal garden of easy-care flowering annuals.

Many annuals need to be deadheaded to keep blooming all season. While snipping off the spent blossoms can hardly be described as hard work, it is easier not to have to remember to do this chore. For that reason, many of us try to buy annuals that do not need deadheading in order to re-bloom all season long and right into fall.

Perennials are plants that, hopefully, return in our gardens each spring after being dormant during the winter.

Thanks to many years of dedicated plant hybridizing, it is now possible to have four seasons of color in our gardens.
