Awesome Annuals

Mill Hollow Nursery specializes in unusual annuals. Our plants are arranged in the greenhouse not only by color but also by light requirements (shade lovers on one side & sun lovers on the other). This makes it easy for you to design your own planters and gardens or have us assist you. Tell us what your needs are and your budget and we'll help you select the perfect plants for your location and pocket book. Depending on your personal style we may suggest bold colors and tropical foliage or soft pastels and delicate lacy foliage or anything in-between.

DROUGHT TOLERANT ANNUALS

Since many of my customers are cottage owners who sometimes have to leave their window boxes and other container gardens for days without watering, I grow many drought tolerant annuals in order to cater to their needs.

EUPHORBIA 'DIAMOND FROST' – Just like their hardier perennial relatives, euphorbia’s excel in dry heat. These semi-succulent die-hards will thrive and bloom all summer.
 
LANTANA – These super-tough plants scream performance. They continue to grow, bloom, and impress all summer through heat and drought. Excellent butterfly plant, too!
 
PENTAS - These heat and sun lovers offer large clusters of star-shaped flowers above rich green foliage. They are naturally well-branched and mound forming. Butterflies love this plant! Blooms all summer. Very drought tolerant.
 
EVOLVULUS – A heat-tolerant, trailing plant with true blue flowers. This is a very low maintenance plant…no deadheading needed. Blooms all summer.
 

NEW PETUNIA VARIETIES

Petunias have remained immensely popular for so long for one good reason...they work! As a bedding plant or in a container they are showy. The new varieties are disease resistant, self-cleaning and very floriferous. Oh, and no pinching required!

 








 

IMPRESSIVE "THRILLERS"

We have some impressive centerpiece plants that are attention-getters. They are upright plants with outstanding qualities—such as colorful foliage, intriguing shapes or dramatic flowers—that last all season long.

 
 
AGASTACHE 'APRICOT SPRITE' – Bushy 18" plants with fragrant lacy-green foliage producing a profusion of tubular peachy-apricot flowers over a long summer and fall season. This drought tolerant plant attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Bonus: this is a hardy perennial (Zone 5)
 
PENNISETUM 'FIREWORKS' – Pennisetum 'Fireworks' is the first variegated purple fountain grass. The midvein is the typical burgundy color and is flanked by hot pink margins. Produces beautiful red-burgundy foxtail flowers. Great accent plant and excellent in containers.
 
ELEPHANT EARS - The heart-shaped leaves of elephant ears are huge, and their color variations are stunning. What a great attention getter! Elephant ears love moist shade, but I've also had them in full sun and they've done terrific. They are a low maintenance plant that does well as a house plant in the winter.
