TIP: It’s important you actually know whether a particular spot is partly shady before running out and buying a bunch of annuals (which can add up in price). The key is to monitor a particular garden throughout the day. If it gets a few hours of sun and is shady the rest of the time, that’s what you’re looking for.
For each flower listed below, we provide some key information about each so be sure to check it out. We hope this list of annuals helps with your garden planning.
