FLOWERING ANNUALS

Flowering annuals grown on our farm in Hydes MD. Marigolds

INSTANT COLOR 

  • Extended Blooming Period: Many annuals bloom quickly and for a long period, keeping your garden lively from spring through fall, providing bright and continuous color throughout the growing season.
  • Flexibility in Design: With a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, annuals allow you to change your garden's appearance every year.
  • Pollinator Attraction: Annuals often attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, benefiting your garden's ecosystem.
  • Versatile and cost-effective way to enhance your garden's beauty and health.

Beginning March thru June and again in August-September for fall harvest, most of our annuals are grown in our own farm greenhouses in nearby Hydes, MD. Colorful hanging baskets and unique container gardens are here for every season. As spring transitions to summer and then fall, our annuals change with the season. Mums and pansies take over our benches in the fall with glorious autumn color. Once the holidays arrive, our flowering plants dominate the greenhouse with our own poinsettias, cyclamen, amaryllis, and other holiday favorites.

HANGING BASKETS
Hanging baskets and containers are a joy to have around us as we find ourselves spending quality time in our outdoor spaces. As we move into the hotter days of summer, different heat-loving plants like lantana, angelonia, and vinca will take the stage. Enjoy all the beauty that flowers bring to our homes.
John Miller Head Grower at Farm and greenhouse
We GROW MOST OF OUR ANNUALS AT OUR FARM
Our farm greenhouses grow beautiful flowers, including the area's best selection of hanging baskets. Our head grower, John Miller, starts growing in late January to have healthy flower and vegetable plants available from March to the end of the year. Many of our plants, including annuals, hanging baskets and vegetables, are grown in our own greenhouses at the Foard family farm in Hydes, MD. We are lucky to have a facility and dedicated growers working year round to bring great plants to our store.
"Growing our own" is just one of the many ways we strive to offer the best plants for area gardeners.
