ANNUALS
Annual flowers live only one growing season, during which they grow, flower, and produce seed, thereby completing their life cycle. Annuals are versatile, sturdy,
and relatively inexpensive. They are easy to grow, produce instant color, and bloom for most of the growing season.
Annuals offer the gardener a chance to experiment with color, height, texture, and form. If a mistake is made, it's only for one growing season. Annuals are useful
for filling in spaces until permanent plants are installed, to extend perennial beds and fill in holes where an earlier perennial is gone or the next one has yet to
bloom; to cover areas where spring bulbs have bloomed and died back; and to fill planters, window boxes, and hanging baskets.
Hanging baskets can really punch up a porch or patio, and for folks with little or no space for down-in-the-dirt gardening, they're perfect. We carry a large
assortment of ready-to-hang baskets, or we can fill a basket or planter with your selections from our stock of annual plants.
A Note from Steve
A lot of you know me as the flower boy, Christmas tree man, or whatever the season requires. My name is Steve, and I have been here since 1989. I, along with a great group of women and men, have the pleasure of planting and growing the annuals, hanging baskets, vegetables, perennials, and so many more plants at Reds.

I receive the gift of our customers when flowers bring a smile to their faces. I have been blessed to serve so many loyal customers and their children over the
years and have developed friendships with many of them. It's so nice to be able to watch the children grow, and now many of you I initially met as children are
now the adults bringing their own children to Reds.
One benefit of working at Reds is that we are a family business. Being that we are a family business gives us a unique opportunity to bring you into our family
and give you a personal and positive shopping experience.
I'm very proud to have been able to serve you over the years. I'm equally proud of all my co-workers who have helped bring you beautiful flowers and plants
over the years!
