We are located on Michigan Ave. in Saline and serve homeowners and landscaping contractors across Ann Arbor, Canton, Ypsilanti, Dexter, Milan, and Scio Township. Whether you are filling a single pot on your front porch or sourcing flowers for an entire landscape installation, we have the inventory and the expertise to help you do it right.
Flowers That Bloom in Summer for Peak Season Color
Summer is when most people want their yard looking its absolute best, and the right flowers deliver exactly that. Flowers that bloom in summer like coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, zinnias, dahlias, and salvia are some of the most reliable and visually rewarding choices for Michigan gardens. These varieties are well-suited to our warm season and keep producing color through the heat of July and August when lesser plants start to fade. We stock a strong summer bloomer selection throughout the season and rotate in fresh inventory regularly so there is always something worth planting.
Flowers That Bloom in Fall to Extend Your Season
A lot of people wind down their garden thinking after summer, but fall is actually a fantastic time for flowers. Mums, asters, ornamental kale, and sedum are among the flowers that bloom in fall and give your yard a second wave of color just as everything else is winding down. Fall bloomers also tend to be incredibly hardy, tolerating cooler nights and early frosts better than summer annuals. If you want your yard to look good well into October, stop by and we will help you put together a fall planting plan that carries the season all the way to the end.
Flowers for Hanging Baskets That Dress Up Any Space
Hanging baskets are one of the fastest and most effective ways to add color to a porch, entryway, pergola, or fence line. The right flowers for hanging baskets combine a mix of upright thrillers, trailing spillers, and mid-height fillers that together create a full, lush look from every angle. Petunias, bacopa, calibrachoa, fuchsia, and trailing verbena are popular choices that hold up well in Michigan's summer conditions. We carry both pre-planted baskets and individual plants so you can mix and match your own combinations or grab something that is already blooming and ready to hang.
Wildflowers for Garden Beds That Look Effortlessly Natural
There is a growing interest in wildflower gardening and for good reason. Wildflowers for garden spaces offer a relaxed, naturalistic look that is also genuinely low maintenance once established. They attract pollinators, support native insects and birds, and fill large areas with color without requiring the same level of attention as more formal plantings. Coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, wild bergamot, and native asters are among the wildflower varieties we carry that do exceptionally well in Michigan gardens. If you want a garden that looks beautiful and feels a little wild and free, we can help you put one together.
Drought Tolerant Flowers for Low Maintenance Gardens
If you want color in your garden without the commitment of daily watering, drought tolerant flowers are the answer. Lavender, yarrow, catmint, portulaca, and gaillardia are all excellent choices that handle dry stretches without losing their appeal. These plants are particularly well-suited to Michigan yards with sandy or well-drained soil that tends to dry out quickly between rain events. They are also a smart pick for front yard beds and other areas that are harder to reach with a hose or irrigation system.
Flowers for Containers to Brighten Patios and Porches
Container gardening is one of the most flexible ways to use flowers around your property. Flowers for containers let you add color to spaces where in-ground planting is not possible, like a paved patio, a concrete front stoop, or a deck. The key to great container arrangements is combining plants with similar water and light needs while varying the height, texture, and color for visual interest. We carry a wide range of container-friendly flowers and our staff is happy to help you put together combinations that work well together and hold up through the season.
Tall Flowers for Garden Beds That Add Height and Drama
Every well-designed garden bed needs something with vertical presence. Tall flowers for garden spaces like delphiniums, foxglove, rudbeckia, cleome, and ornamental grasses give your plantings height, movement, and a sense of scale that shorter varieties simply cannot provide. Tall flowers work especially well at the back of a border where they create a backdrop for smaller plants in front. They also make excellent cut flowers, which means you get to enjoy them inside the house as much as you do in the garden.
Flowers for Curb Appeal That Make a Strong First Impression
The flowers you plant in your front yard do more than just look pretty. They signal to anyone who drives by or walks up to your door that the home is well cared for and thoughtfully maintained. Flowers for curb appeal should offer reliable color, stay tidy through the season, and work with the scale and style of your home's exterior. Whether you are lining a front walkway, filling foundation beds, or adding color to window boxes, we help you choose varieties that deliver the right look from the street and continue to perform week after week.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garden Flowers
What flowers bloom the longest in Michigan summers?
Zinnias, coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and salvia are among the longest blooming summer flowers for Michigan gardens. Deadheading spent blooms on many varieties encourages continuous flowering well into fall.
Can I plant flowers in containers if I do not have garden beds?
Absolutely. Flowers for containers are a great solution for patios, porches, balconies, and any paved or hard surface area. The main things to keep in mind are drainage, regular watering during hot stretches, and choosing plants that match your light conditions.
Are wildflowers hard to establish in a Michigan yard?
Most wildflowers are not difficult to grow once you get them started, but the establishment phase does require some attention. Starting with young plants rather than seed gives you a much stronger head start. We carry a good selection of wildflower starts that are ready to go in the ground.
What are the best drought tolerant flowers for a low maintenance yard?
Lavender, yarrow, gaillardia, catmint, and portulaca are all excellent performers in dry conditions. Once established, these plants are very forgiving and require minimal watering to stay healthy and colorful.
When should I plant fall flowers in Michigan?
Late August through September is the ideal window for planting fall bloomers like mums and asters. Planting too late reduces the time they have to establish before the first frost, so earlier is generally better for the fullest and most reliable display.
