Welcome to Annie's Annuals Website
Want big time color and pizazz in your summer garden? Look no farther than Zinnias! These old-fashioned MILDEW RESISTANT ZINNIAS grow super tall (to a proper 3'!) They're ridiculously ruffled, and bloom all summer and into fall with deadheading and a little side dressing of compost mid-season. Standing tall and proud, they attract fluttering hordes of butterflies, bees and beneficial insects – you'll never go back to dwarfed box-store Zinnias again! And did we mention you'll get cut flowers to fill every room in the house with a carnival of color! All zinnias prefer full sun and average water. Annuals - All zones.

The Benary’s Giants! If you love Zinnias in your summer garden and you haven’t tried Benary’s Giants, you’re missing out! Healthy, mildew resistant, extra-multi-branching and extra-long blooming, huge double blooms are up to 6” across! What’s more, they’re not dwarfed, with a great 3’ x 2’ overall size – so yay! Don’t crowd; air circulation is important to the health of plants. Great in beds or containers (15+ gallon) they’re simply enchanting and a must for every summer garden. |

More new veggies are here! Mother Nature is warming things up and it’s time to get planting your edibles garden! If your favorites are still not yet available, add them to your wish list and we’ll email you as soon as they’re ready. If you’re local, we have many more varieties in our retail nursery, including some great melons, and unusual tomato varieties that will grow in containers, or don’t mind the coastal coolness, are great for sauces and simply taste great.
