In the DC metro area, it is essential to get seasonal flowers, or annual color beds, in at the right time … so they can reach their optimal color and beauty! It is also important to consider when different flowers bloom in our area, so your property always has vibrant color and floral / foliage interest throughout the seasons. Spreading, mounding and cascading blooms can all fit within your property’s landscape design plan, help achieve maximum impact, and enhance curb appeal.

Planting Annual Color Beds

Flowers grow brightest in damp, nutrient-rich soil that is 6 to 8 inches above the grade of your existing landscape. Annual peat and compost amendment is key for DC area lawns and gardens to getting flower beds in order for the coming season. Not only do these additions help feed the flowers, but they augment the soil’s ability to retain water. Turning and elevating the soil aerates, aids in drainage, and disturbs any weed seeds still in old soil. Additional water and fertilizer is required after planting.
