| Annuals For a beautiful splash of color, annuals are the perfect choice. Typically annuals are more affordable than perennials and many types bloom throughout the spring and summer. 
As the name suggests, annuals do not come back year after year with the occasional exception from seeds that were sown by the plant and made it past your weeding process in the spring. Over time, annuals are a bit more labor intensive than perennials because they must be replanted every year but that is part of the fun! A product such as Safer® Brand 3-in-1 Garden Spray will keep your annuals free from disease and insects. Common examples of annuals include garden petunia, periwinkle, celosia, and Mexican Heather. Perennials There are such a large array of perennials, its tough to classify them into categories. There are many different shapes and sizes, which is a great way to add depth and character to your garden and landscaping areas.  The colors on perennials aren't typically quite as vibrant as annuals, with roses being a notable exception to that rule.
With a little care and maintenance throughout the year, perennials can be enjoyed for many years. When planting perennials, its a good idea to plant some that boom in the spring, summer and late summer so you have color throughout the season. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Rose and Flower Insect Killer to keep insects off of your perennials and keep them healthy all season long! Examples of perrenials are Black-Eyed Susans, Hostas, Peonies, Goldenrods, and Yarrows. Fruits, Vegetables & Herbs Growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be lots of fun and work. If you're just starting your first backyard garden, tomatoes are a good choice. They are easy to grow in most climates, delicious in salads, sauces, on sandwiches & more. Plus most varieties of tomatoes continue to produce fruit from the time they mature to the first frost. Share your  harvest with friends, coworkers and family. Most vegetable plants are not as aesthetically pleasing as flowers, shrubs and ornamentals but they are delicious and save you money at the grocery store. If you want to add beauty and produce to your yard, consider a fruit tree. Make sure the tree you choose will thrive in your climate zone and enjoy the fruits of your labor for years & years. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Fruit and Vegetable Insect Killer will keep your crops free from insects and healthy all season long, and best of all, do not travel into the soil to other plants and will not harm beneficial insects! Bulbs Daffodils & Tulips are some of the most popular types of bulbs but there are many varieties to choose from. The harbingers of spring; bulbs are grow best when they are planted in the fall and lay dormant until spring. You  can also buy them in the early part of the planting season and add a splash of color before the rest of your garden starts to bloom. Bulbs are great filler too. Plant them mixed in with other plants and watch them grown and bloom before some of the perennials even have their spring leaves. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Insect Killing Soap will keep your bulbs free from insects all season long! Other examples of bulbs include hyacinth, iris, lilly, and allium. Trees, Shrubs & Ornamentals Talk about variety... trees, shrubs & ornamental plants come in tons of shapes and sizes.

When planting trees especially, make sure you know how big they will get and ensure you have enough space.
