Professional annual flower installation for Howard County
Call 410-992-8680Annual flowers provide what perennials can't: consistent, long-lasting color from planting through first frost. While perennials bloom 2-4 weeks then go green, annuals flower continuously for months with proper care.
For Howard County homeowners who want vibrant color all season or entertain frequently, annual flower beds deliver constant beauty. With 39 years' experience, we know which annuals thrive in Maryland's heat and humidity, creating color combinations that complement your home.
Planted April-May, spring annuals provide color through summer until frost:
The workhorse of summer color. Modern wave and supertunia varieties bloom May-October, require no deadheading, and tolerate Maryland heat beautifully. Every color imaginable.
Perfect for shade. Bloom prolifically late spring through fall, creating carpets of color under trees and along shaded foundations. New Guinea varieties tolerate more sun.
Tough and reliable. Handle heat and humidity while providing cheerful orange, yellow, and red blooms all summer. Low-maintenance, resist pests and diseases.
Excel in part-shade. Bloom continuously with minimal care, tolerate heat, and maintain attractive foliage. Wax and Dragon Wing varieties provide consistent performance.
Classic bold color May-October. Handle heat well, require minimal deadheading, and are deer-resistant—valuable in Howard County gardens.
Planted September-October, fall annuals provide color through autumn into winter:
Classic fall bloomers in rich reds, oranges, yellows, and purples. Garden mums planted properly often survive Maryland winters and return.
Cold-hardy, bloom through winter into spring. Tolerate freezing temperatures, providing cheerful color during gray winter months.
Unique texture and color through fall and winter. Colors intensify with cold, maintaining attractive appearance through snow and freezing.
Most popular. Spring installation (April-May) and fall installation (September-October) provides vibrant color April through November. Many customers combine with perennials that fill mid-summer.
Maximum color. Adds mid-summer replacement when heat-sensitive plants are refreshed with heat-tolerant varieties. Ensures continuous perfection for properties where appearance is paramount.
Regular deadheading, fertilization, and replacement of declining plants keeps beds looking perfect all season. Learn more about our garden maintenance services.

Call 410-992-8680Schemes that complement your home's exterior. Monochromatic, complementary, or analogous combinations for sophisticated looks.
Tall in back, medium in middle, low along edges. Proper layering ensures all plants are visible and creates dimension.
Mix fine-textured plants with bold-textured varieties. Texture variety prevents monotony and adds professional polish.
Repeat key plants in groupings throughout beds. Creates rhythm and intentional design rather than random chaos.
Spring annuals provide 5-6 months of bloom (May-October/November). Fall annuals like pansies bloom September through following April, pausing during coldest months. With a two-season program, enjoy fresh color April through November and November through April—nearly year-round.
Both have advantages. Annuals provide constant bloom and seasonal variety but require replanting. Perennials return annually and cost less long-term but bloom shorter periods. We typically recommend perennial gardens for structure with annual beds in high-visibility areas like entryways where constant color matters most.
Annuals need moderate maintenance. Regular watering (1-1.5 inches weekly), deadheading for most varieties (modern wave petunias are self-cleaning), and monthly fertilization. We offer maintenance programs that handle all care, ensuring perfect beds all season.
Spring: late April through mid-May after last frost. Fall: September through early October. Schedule 2-3 weeks in advance during peak seasons. Many customers schedule fall while we complete spring installation. Call in March for spring, August for fall.
Most residential installations range $400-$1,500 per season depending on bed size and plant selection. Pricing factors include:
