The world of annuals includes high-performance plants that give you speedy garden results. These plants, whether small or large, are primed to germinate quickly when conditions are right, grow speedily, and then do what they do so well -- make loads of flowers, fruits, roots, and seeds for the duration of the growing period. Many of the best flowers for bedding and containers are annuals. They can be used alone or in combination with perennials, shrubs, and trees.
