Flowers

Annuals and perennials spice the landscape with their colorful flowers and foliage. Beds of color provide brilliant accents against backgrounds of permanent plantings, soften man-made lines, and provide graceful transitions from one outdoor area to another. Flowers can be used to catch the eye, accent a view, frame a door, or just draw attention to their own blooms.

  • Annual plants
    Annual plants are practical in that they are versatile, sturdy, and inexpensive. They quickly yield color for one long season.

  • Perennial plants
    Perennial plants return year after year. They fit into many landscapes and can be used in borders, as accents, or as strong focal points. The foliage of many perennials is attractive during nonflowering seasons as well.

    Content for this section of MSUcares came from Publication #P1826 - Annual & Perennial Flowers For Mississippi Gardens.

  • Roses
    Where noted, much of the content of this area was taken from an Extension short course, Growing and Enjoying Roses in Mississippi, presented in the spring of 2007.
