Annual Plants


Annual plants fall under two categories - hardy and half-hardy. Hardy annuals can be grown outdoors and will tolerate cooler tempratures, whereas the more tender half-hardy annuals need protection and must not be planted out until all risk of frost has passed. These delightful summer flowers add colour and interest to beds, borders, containers and hanging baskets. Use the selections in the left menu to select the right plants for your garden.

  • More colour, more impact, but fewer plants per square meter

Sunpatiens® is taking the plant world by storm with its exceptional vigour and ability to withstand rain, wind, humidity, scorching heat and cool shade.

It's a plant of superior qualities: quicker to establish, stronger root system, thicker petals and much larger flowers than normal Impatiens.Just one plant covers an area 3 feet square! ‘Flower Power’ is an understatement - but don't just take our word for it, grow Sunpatiens® for yourself - we think you’ll be suitably impressed. Height and spread: 60cm (24").
