Elevate your garden's beauty with these stunning annuals

Just because the warm weather is coming to an end, that doesn’t mean your garden has to remain dull. There are plenty of annuals to help keep your garden going strong and vibrant. These annuals add colour, and texture, and overall keep your garden beautiful in cooler conditions.

Coleus

The growing conditions of the coleus plants are part shade to full shade with rich, moist, well-draining soil. They are recognisable by their rich shades of pink, purple, red, and yellow-green leaves, which become more lush as the season progresses. Coleus comes in a wide range of shapes and sizes, giving you lots of options for garden placement. They also work as indoor plants in the colder months.

These strong hardy bright plants are a great addition to add colour to your garden this season.
