Annuals

Bring unmatched color to your landscape with gorgeous annuals from Alsip Home & Nursery. Choose from our huge selection of your favorites inside our expansive greenhouses optimized for your shopping experience. Not only do we grow a lot of our own, we have teamed up with some of the best flower growers in the country to offer an even wider variety of plants to choose from. That includes Alsip’s Famous Geraniums – our own hearty, high-performing hybrids that draw discriminating gardeners from across the Midwest!

Annuals are essential to any summer garden where color is important. The term "annual" refers to a plant that completes its life cycle in one season. In the gardening world, annual also refers to plants that are grown for just one season. Most often, annuals are valued for the color they bring to the garden, either through blooms or foliage.

At Alsip Home & Nursery we take great pride in our jumbo annual trays. This is a signature item that people come from miles around to purchase from us. We carry an extensive selection of flats which we grow ourselves from A to Z or Alyssum to Zinnia! Our grower has been perfecting them for over 30 years!

You may see the term “vegetative” annuals around our greenhouses and wonder what the deal is. Vegetative annuals refer to an annual that is reproduced from cuttings as opposed to seed. These annuals represent genetically superior plants with the most up to date breeding methods giving you improved performance and greater longevity in the garden.

 Alsip Home & Nursery offers the largest selection of gorgeous hanging baskets in the Midwest. Choose from an unmatched variety of sizes. We literally grow nearly 100 different combinations to choose from. These range from Full Sun to Shade. Always full, healthy, and vigorous, our unique annual hanging baskets have become synonymous with quality as acknowledged by our customers.

Alsip Home & Nursery carries many premade combination planters that are ready to be set on your porch or patio. Additionally, be sure to visit Alsip’s Potting Station located within our greenhouse. There, we will help design and plant containers with your favorites and our top of the line annual stock. See a friendly Alsip Home & Nursery Associate for full details and pricing.
