Annuals: Instant Color for Every Season

Annuals are the go-to choice for bold, vibrant blooms that last all season long. These plants complete their life cycle in one growing season, making them perfect for adding fast-growing color to garden beds, window boxes, and patio containers. At Bountiful Acres, we stock an incredible variety of annual flowers and foliage plants—from classic petunias and marigolds to eye-catching calibrachoa and coleus.

Perennials: Year-After-Year Beauty

Perennials are the foundation of long-lasting garden design. Unlike annuals, perennials return year after year, offering structure, texture, and seasonal blooms. From hardy native varieties like coneflowers and black-eyed Susans to pollinator favorites such as salvia, bee balm, and yarrow, our perennial collection is selected with local gardeners in mind. At Bountiful Acres, we provide expert guidance on perennial planting, spacing, and care to ensure your garden matures beautifully over time. Whether you’re designing a low-maintenance landscape or planning a pollinator-friendly garden, we have the right perennials for Bucks County’s growing zone.

Tropicals: Create Your Own Backyard Paradise

Bring a taste of the tropics to your home with our wide selection of tropical plants, perfect for summer patios, poolside planters, or greenhouse collections. From bold elephant ears and dramatic hibiscus to fragrant jasmine and lush palms, our tropicals transform any outdoor space into a vibrant oasis. Many of our tropical plants can be overwintered indoors, and our team can guide you through the best practices for care, repotting, and transitioning between seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What's the difference between annuals and perennials?

Annuals complete their life cycle in one growing season and need to be replanted each year, while perennials come back year after year with proper care. Many gardeners use a combination of both for seasonal color and long-term structure.

When should I plant annuals in Bucks County?

It’s best to plant annuals after the last frost date, which is typically in mid-to-late April in Bucks County. For fall annuals like pansies and mums, planting can begin in late summer or early fall.

Which perennials grow best in Pennsylvania?

Some of the top-performing perennials in our region include coneflowers, hostas, daylilies, bee balm, black-eyed Susans, and ornamental grasses. Native varieties are especially resilient and beneficial for pollinators.

Can tropical plants survive the winter in Pennsylvania?

Most tropicals aren’t winter-hardy in our zone, but many can be brought indoors before the first frost and grown as houseplants. Our team can advise you on overwintering tropicals like hibiscus, mandevilla, and palms.

How do I know which plants are right for my space?

Our staff can help you assess your garden’s light levels, soil conditions, and water needs to recommend plants that will thrive. Whether you're planting in full sun, partial shade, or containers, we’ll help you choose the right mix.
