Annual & Perennial Flowers
All Ferry-Morse flowers are Non-Neonic, which means they are bee-friendly and neonicotinoid-free. While perennials and annuals have different characteristics, each has unique benefits to the gardener
Annual Flowers
Annual flowers start from seed at the beginning of the season, last for the entire season, and die off at the first hard frost in your area. If you want these flowers for the next season, they should be planted every year.
Key Characteristics

Perennial Flowers
Perennial flowers are started from seed, take a little longer to bloom, but regrow every year! Some varieties last year after year, reseeding themselves while others last a few years before they need to be reseeded.
Key Characteristics
- Blooms for about 2-6 weeks a season
- Plant once and enjoy year after year!
- Blooms best starting in the second year
