Annuals

For gardeners who crave instant beauty, annuals are the perfect choice! These bold, colorful plants make an impact from the moment they’re planted, blooming continuously throughout the season. Whether you’re filling flower beds, brightening up containers, or creating eye-catching borders, annuals deliver unmatched versatility and charm.

At Rohsler’s, we offer an exceptional selection of annuals, including varieties grown right here and premium choices from top growers. From the first cheerful pansies of spring to lush summer blooms, our collection ensures your garden stays vibrant all season long.

Why Choose Annuals

Versatile – Varied – Vivacious: Annuals Pack a Punch

Annuals offer versatility, variety, and season-long brilliance. They:

  • Keep your garden colorful from spring through fall
  • Are easy to grow, making them ideal for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike
  • Provide a great return on investment, delivering long-lasting beauty at an affordable price
  • Come in every imaginable color, size, and shape, ensuring endless possibilities for design
  • Pair beautifully with perennials, adding fresh bursts of color year after year
  • Attract hummingbirds and butterflies, while some varieties can even help repel pests naturally
  • Are delicious (remember, vegetables like tomatoes, basil, and peppers are annuals too!)

Beyond Thrillers, Spillers, & Fillers

Keep Your Annuals Blooming Beautifully

Some annuals, like Begonias and Impatiens, bloom without much effort. Others benefit from deadheading—the removal of spent flowers—to keep them producing fresh blooms all season long. Understanding each variety’s needs will help you get the most out of your garden.

Beyond Thrillers, Spillers & Fillers: Annuals for Stunning Containers

Annuals are perfect for container gardens, giving you the freedom to mix colors, textures, and heights for a spectacular display. At Rohsler’s, we go beyond the traditional thriller, spiller, and filler formula to help you create dynamic, eye-catching arrangements.

  • Thrillers (Tall & Upright Blooms) – Try Ageratum, Abutilon, Cleome, or Angelonia for elegant height and vibrant blooms.
  • Fillers (Lush, Mid-Level Plants) – Include Vermillionaire (Cuphea) or Lantana, both known for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies.
  • Spillers (Flowing, Cascading Plants) – Look for cascade varieties of flowering Vinca, or the South African specialty, Mezoo, whose pointed green leaves edged in white complement its delicate hot pink flowers.
