Early Spring will be here before you know it, so it is time to start thinking about Spring Annuals. Our flower beds are ready for some color as soon as this cooler weather is ready to move on. Around this time, I would like to start prepping my soil in the garden beds, even though we will likely get a light frost, prep my window boxes, and place containers for my vibrant flowers. Checking to find some areas that receive partial sun, but most of my yard does receive full sun.
After I get the beds in shape, I will decide on this year’s annual plants. I love fresh-cut flowers, and these hardy annuals will give me some incredibly cool flowers by early summer. The following seedlings are really solid choices for colorful flowers. I have many tried and true favorites for your spring garden, from blue blooms to white flowers.

As you can see, many of these can be perfect choices for any garden. Flower gardens are so crucial to the health of our vegetable gardens. They bring in butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, vital pollinators. These tiny pollinators help plants reproduce, keeping your flowers blooming and your fruits and vegetable garden thriving. Your local nursery can help you determine the type of care each plant needs because it depends on where you live and where you plant it. Whatever your favorite flowers are, they are the perfect choice for you. You will see beautiful blooms in time with proper care. So let me know what type of spring annuals you prefer.
