Caring for Summer Annuals
The most important aspect when caring for summer annuals is managing their water intake. Annuals need regular watering as they are rarely revived after experiencing a prolonged lack of water. Summer annuals also require the removal of dead blooms so that other blooms can last longer. However, if this seems like too much work, there are certain species of summer annuals that can survive with less water and others that have blooms that drop once dead.
