Homegrown Annuals
Vibrant, premium flowers grown right here in our Brockton greenhouses.
The Norwood Gardens Difference
When you purchase annuals from Norwood Gardens, you are taking home plants that have been seeded, nurtured, and groomed right here on our 4-acre property. Because the majority of our annuals are grown on-site in our own greenhouses, they are already acclimated to the local Southeastern Massachusetts climate. This means stronger root systems, more vibrant blooms, and plants that are ready to thrive in your yard the moment you plant them.
Annuals are the perfect way to inject continuous, season-long color into your landscape. Unlike perennials that bloom for a specific window, annuals provide a relentless display of flowers from spring straight through to the first frost. Whether you need sun-loving varieties for a bright patio or shade-tolerant plants for a covered porch, our expert staff can help you select the perfect combination.
Tips for Planting Annuals:
- Plant in the proper location, keeping sunlight and space in mind.
- Always loosen the roots when planting.
- Feed them every 3-6 weeks with fertilizer.
- Water when dry, about 1 inch below the surface.
- Deadhead as needed, removing dead flowers and leaves.
Endless Possibilities for Your Property
Annuals offer incredible versatility for both residential and commercial properties. Because they grow quickly and bloom profusely, they are the ideal choice for creating high-impact visual displays.
Popular Uses for Annuals:
- Hanging Baskets & Containers: Create stunning focal points for porches, patios, and entryways.
- Window Boxes: Add immediate charm and curb appeal to the front of your home.
- Garden Borders: Define walkways and landscape beds with crisp, colorful edges.
- Mass Plantings: Fill large empty spaces with a sea of continuous color.
Expert Planting & Care
To get the most out of your annuals, proper planting and maintenance are key.
Tips for Success:

- Preparation: Always gently loosen the root ball before placing the plant in the soil.
- Nutrition: Feed your annuals every 3-6 weeks with a high-quality fertilizer to encourage continuous blooming.
