Throughout the year, we install both cool-season and warm-season annual flowers in Gresham, Beaverton, Happy Valley, and the nearby areas of the Portland, OR metro area.

Annual flowers come in a wide variety of colors and are relatively low-maintenance.

Installing annual flowers has many benefits. Their blooms last for months as long as they are properly taken care of, which only entails routine watering and some fertilization. This makes them relatively low-maintenance plants. Since they only live for one season, annuals don't require trimming or pruning services. Perennials, on the other hand, do need more maintenance since they can live for years and their flowers do not bloom as long as annuals do.

Annuals have vibrant blooms in a wide variety of colors, such as red, white, yellow, orange, blue, purple, and some are even a blend of those colors. Often, annual flowers will also drop their seeds, which means you could see new growth that next year in the same spots where they previously grew.

Cool-season annuals should be planted in the fall or in very early spring.

Some cool-season annuals that we often plant in either early spring or the fall are:

• Snapdragons
• Sweet alyssum
• Poppy
• Forget-me-not
• Petunia
• Phlox
• Dusty miller

These should not be planted in the late spring or summer, as it can get too warm for them to flourish and survive. They tolerate cooler weather and can be planted in early spring even if there is a potential for the ground to frost.

Popular warm-season annuals include marigolds, calendula, zinnias, and more.

In the Portland, OR area, there are many popular choices for warm-season annual flowers that will give your landscape beds some fun spring and summer color. Generally, warm-season annuals should only be planted once you're certain that there will not be any more instances of frosty weather, as the cooler weather can kill them. Some warm-season annuals we install include:

• Marigolds
• Calendula
• Zinnia
• Sunflowers
