We have no doubt that Trees Today Nursery has the largest assortment of annuals in the area. We have over 100 varieties and they have been selling like crazy. Some of our favorites for pollinators are the cuphea (vermillionaire in particular) for the hummingbirds and the Tithonias (Mexican Sunflowers) for the Monarchs. For unusual container plants, the Laurentia and Mercadonia are great. They are tiny little flowers, one blue and one yellow, that will fill your containers in no time and bloom and bloom. Also, of course, we have all the old favorites like geraniums, zinnias, marigolds, lantanas, lisisanthus, and the list goes on. Stop in while the selecti0n is still great.
