Here at Friendly Services, we know how annuals can transform a front yard or garden bed with just a few well-placed pops of color. Although they only last one season, they’re the go-to choice for homeowners looking to add life to their outdoor spaces.

Top Picks for Local Gardeners

In towns like West Chester, Malvern, and Glen Mills, certain annuals have become trusted staples. Marigolds thrive in full sun and are known for pest resistance. Impatiens are perfect for shady spots, while petunias and geraniums are great choices for sunny borders and planters. Annuals like coleus also add bold leaf color to mixed beds.

When and How to Plant

Annuals are typically planted after the final spring frost—usually mid-April in Chester County. These plants require consistent watering, regular deadheading, and the right soil conditions to stay at their best. Our planting services include guidance on where each plant will thrive, ensuring they stay vibrant all season long. Timing and placement are everything—and we’re here to help.
