Greg Stack, Extension horticulturist has developed a new website to track the growing season of 180 annuals that are being tested at the U of I Extension Annuals Trial Garden, Midwest Golf House, Lemont.

He is rating the annuals weekly and also designating his Illini picks (or the outstanding performers) for the week.

Go to http://urbanext.illinois.edu/trialgarden/ and follow the performance of these various annuals throughout the growing season.

The trials are for full-sun locations in a landscape application.
