Coming in many varieties, they are quite easy to grow, and caring for them won’t be difficult. Hydrangeas will return every spring if they are taken care of properly.

 

6) Lavender

 

A terrific summer flower for Annapolis, lavender will bloom in the summer and best thrive in sunny areas and well-drained soil. Its flower emits a strong and pleasant scent that many find irresistible. Get ready for visiting bees and butterflies because lavender attracts pollinators. Put lavender flowers in a vase filled with water, and your home will smell wonderful for up to 10 days.

 

7) Marigolds

 

Formerly used for medicinal benefits, marigolds were thought to have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
