Commercial Landscaping Flowers - Annuals

Greenskeeper will work with you to create colorful and memorable flower beds and containers to draw interest and make your property visitors want to linger.  Adding seasonal beds and an assortment of flower pots to your property can take your space from boring to memorable and make your property stand out from the competition. Annuals are a great addition to your flowering areas. There are many bright and colorful plants that are perfect for all commercial landscaping styles.

Owl-clover - 6-inch spikes of red-purple flowers top these inconspicuous plants in spring. Owl clover grow up to 1 foot tall and provide much sought after nectar for hummingbirds. This plant will add color to landscape, especially when grown with native grasses or other wildflowers. 

Desert Sunflower - Also known as Desert gold, this plant blooms large, showy yellow flowers from January to June on 2-foot-tall plant. The seeds of this plant are good spring and summer food source for desert rodents, doves, quail, finches and sparrows. 

Desert Bluebells - Loose clusters of bright blue flowers dance above a plant of deep green foliage. Growing 6 to 24 inches tall, these flowers would do well in the ground or in decorative pots. If you're interested in keeping some feathered guests around this provides seed in late spring and early summer for birds. 

Skeleton Weed - Not a name that you would associate with a beautiful flowering plant, but this summer annual sports numerous, tiny pink flowers all over its delicate, finely branched stalk. Common along desert roadsides, skeleton weed will quite often plant itself in desert landscapes. 

Sunflower - We are all familiar with the remarkable beauty of the sunflower, with its Medium or dark-green leaves and yellow flower heads. They can grow from 2 feet to an amazing 6 feet tall. Most are annuals, and are blessedly free of thorns. Native species are available as seed in any local store. The seeds are produced in summer and fall; in case you're interested in a little snack while you're on the go. 

Indian Blanket - Also known as Firewheel due to the dark red and yellow 2-inch flowers that bloom above hairy, bright green leaves. Bloom begins in April and may last through summer if watered. This plant grows 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, hence the blanket name. 

Lupine - Beautiful blue or purple flower spikes are borne above bright-green foliage in spring. Lupine can grow up to 24 inches in total height. The desert species of this plant are annuals. 

It doesn’t matter to us whether you want lush lawns, desert landscaping or some type of commercial landscaping in between, we can help.  To find out how give us a call at 623-848-8277.
