I haven't bought my annuals yet and I'm in NVA too. It might be a little late to get them going from seed, but the stores and garden centers are full of them ready to plant.

Impatiens do really well, as do marigolds, petunias and a ton of others.

Congrats on the house, and have fun with it.|||Another Virginian here! I planted flowers just last weekend. If you want small flowers it's not to late to plant seeds. If you nick the seeds with a knife or razor and then soak them in HOT water (faucet, not stove) for a few hours, it cuts the germination time in half! Lilies are also great. There are tons of colors to choose from. I always plant mine closer together than they say to because I like them thick. I planted my Lily bulbs last weekend and they should be up between June and August. I rec. putting in fertilizer with the bulbs when you plant them. Get the timed release kind that releases fertilizer for 2-3 months. That will help make sure they are properly fertilized while they are first starting out. Good Luck and Congrats!
