Asters begin in my area KY late Sept. Yea Phlox. I was hoping Phlox would be at the top of the top ten so I could reason just how the others might stack up and worth trying. Hi Peggy… good choices include hostas, perennial geraniums, coral bells, astilbe, brunnnera and hardy ferns. Lenten rose NOT a rose is great for even dry shade, and is evergreen and deer resistant. They bloom for ages and come in white or pink. What a great plant!!
Also, sun or part shade — yes, no? I have 4 maples on our golf course lot that do very well, in addition to a large crepe myrtle that gets pruned heavily every winter. I have a huge loropetalum green variety 15 ft. All these plants do well in Zone 9, full sun. Dee I live in zone 9 in Deep South Louisiana… I have 40 to 60 foot bamboo in my back yard love it!

I love it so. You just dig up the tubers and you have so any more than you started with. You can share or leave them in the ground depending on where you life. I live in northern Ohio. I have never had luck with phlox, they always eventually get mildew. I do love dahlias though.
I leave them in the ground and every spring they come with more plants and lots of blooms. It takes them awhile, but once they start blooming, it continues until it frosts. You live in northern Ohio and leave your dahlias in the ground over winter?! Maybe I will leave some in the ground this fall to see if they survive. I left them in the ground last Winter and mulched them heavily!!!!!
They are somewhat protected close to the house. Mind you all 20 of them came back up this Spring! And actually the plants were even stronger and seemed more robust than before! They must be deer resistant as we have lots of them here and knock on wood my dahlias have been fine! The only thing with Dahlias, they need to be staked! But worth every bit of the beauty!
Wish I could post some pics of them here!!! Marigolds thrive with plenty of sunlight and access to regular watering. Flowers bring color and fragrance to a garden or home. If you add to your garden each year it is always easiest to not have to replant or to use the same flowers that will bloom long term. This post has explored options in both areas to make sure your garden blooms bright when you can enjoy it most.
May 03 In Blog , Garden , Landscape Design. You can actually grow the following plants in your garden, which can survive the summer season easily while maintaining an appropriate and beautiful ambiance: 1. Petunia Petunias are usually considered to be the best plant that thrives throughout the growing season, starting in the spring and continuing to the winter months.
Zinnias This type of flowering plant usually loves the warmth and can be grown in the summer planting season. Gaillardia This is another type of flower which is best grown in the summer season. Globe Amaranth This beautiful plant, with a paper-like petal, lasts for a longer period of time and can be easily grown in your gardens.

Evergreen Candytuft This beautiful flowering plant has flowers that are white in color. Brown-Eyed Susan The flowers of this plant are the main attraction of any garden. They are also in the list of drought-tolerant plants. Some Zinnia cultivars are tall flowering plants, and others are dwarf varieties. One reason to choose Zinnias for your summer garden is that their cut flowers retain their blooms all summer.
They also are a perfect choice for window boxes, mixed borders, containers, or edging plants. Petunias have some of the most striking flowers from any of the annuals that flower in summer. From all of the summer bloomers on this list, petunias have one of the longest flowering periods. The trumpet-shaped colorful flowers appear in early spring and bloom until late fall.
These delightful flowers can be purple , yellow , white, lavender, or coral red. Depending on the petunia cultivar you choose, you can grow them as hanging baskets , in window boxes, or outdoor containers.
Are you looking for full-sun flowering groundcover plants? Then some petunias will transform your garden landscape into a sea of beautiful color all summer long. Hydrangea is a great flowering perennial shrub with flowers that come back every year and bloom all summer.
Hydrangeas are showy shrubs that add pastel colored flowers to your garden all summer—right from late spring until fall. These low-maintenance perennial flowering shrubs produce huge flower heads made up of colorful flower clusters. You can grow hydrangeas in full sun or partial shade to enjoy their pink, white, red, and blue flowers from May until September. To keep hydrangeas blooming even longer, prune spent flowers to encourage vigorous blooming. Grow colorful hydrangeas for an easy maintenance summer garden where you need shrub borders or foundation plantings.
The flowers of the coneflower plant come back every year. Coneflowers are some of the hardiest perennial flowers that bloom all summer long. Showy, cone-like pink flowers grace the top of long straight stems. These summer-flowering plants will grow almost anywhere and are also drought-tolerant perennial plants. Growing in full sun, you can expect beautiful flowers from late spring until the first frost. Apart from providing shades of purple throughout the summer, there are many benefits to growing coneflowers echinacea.
The beautiful flowers attract pollinators, they make excellent cut flowers, and all parts of the plant have medicinal qualities. Yarrow plants are flowering perennials that have feathery foliage, fragrant, showy flowers, and a long blooming time. The long stems grow in clumps and can grow up to 3 ft. These herbaceous plants blossom with white, pink, red, cream, and yellow-colored flower clusters.
Growing in full sun and partial shade, the summer-blooming flowers start in late spring and last until the end of summer. Yarrow plants are excellent to grow as a perennial border, and they are prized for their beautiful cut flowers.
Growing woodland sage in your garden will create a carpet of rich indigo-blue or purple colors in your summer garden. The literal translation of that German cultivar name is 'Autumn Joy,' and that's how most of us refer to this plant. It blooms in late summer, with flowers that gradually darken over several weeks to rust-red or purple by fall. Various cultivars offer different flower and foliage colors.
Autumn Joy is highly prized for the long-lasting fall color it provides. The blooms are actually large masses of smaller flowers that clump together in groups 3 inches or more across. Autumn Joy is a very long-lived perennial that grows slowly and requires almost no maintenance, except shearing back the stems to ground level after frost. Do not confuse " catnip "—the herb famous for driving felines into a frenzy—with "catmint. Catmint typically grows to about 12 inches high and is used as a ground cover , but a recommended cultivar is 'Walker's Low', which grows to 24 to 30 inches tall and blooms from spring through early fall.
Shearing the flower spikes after they bloom will stimulate vigorous reblooming. Many species and cultivars of speedwell exist, including creeping types. But for a good long-blooming form, try Veronica spicata, especially the 'Royal Candles' cultivar. It produces spikes of blue flowers on plants growing 9 to 12 inches tall and blooms from June through August. Other cultivars grow as high as 3 feet. The key to extending the flowering season of 'Royal Candles' is regular shearing.
Few plants are named more accurately, as the flowers of red hot poker Kniphofia uvaria match the name precisely. The typical red hot poker sometimes called "torch lily" grows 3 or 4 feet tall with red and yellow flowers, but a number of hybrids and cultivars are available offering different heights and flower colors. Especially popular are varieties from the Popsicle series, specifically 'Mango Popsicle', 'Pineapple Popsicle', and 'Redhot Popsicle', all of which produce flowers from late spring to mid-summer on plants that grow 1 to 2 feet in height.
Spent flower heads should be removed immediately, but no division of clumps is necessary. The Campanula genus is a very large one with more than species of annuals and perennials. A very good long-blooming perennial species in this genus is Campanula portenschlagiana , commonly called the Dalmatian bellflower.
It is a low, mat-forming plant that blooms for two solid months in late spring and early summer. It is a good plant for edging , ground cover, or for trailing over walls. Under ideal conditions, the plant can spread readily, but it is not too hard to control. Divide plants every three to four years to keep clumps vigorous. Fringed bleeding heart Dicentra eximia is one of the best long-blooming perennials for shade gardens.
It will flower for some three months during the growing season late spring through late summer in zone 5. Unlike its better-known relative, the common bleeding heart Dicentra spectabilis , this type offers splendid, fern-like foliage in addition to those wonderfully shaped blossoms that any gardener with a sense of whimsy appreciates.
However, the heart shapes aren't as perfect as common bleeding hearts. Fringed bleeding heart is also a smaller plant 12 to 18 inches tall, with a similar spread. While these plants all have long bloom periods, in your particular hardiness zone there may be particular cultivars—cultivated varieties—that are especially well suited. That's because these cultivars are often developed by local university arboretums or plant breeders to meet the precise conditions of your region.
Consult a local plant expert or university extension department for recommendations on cultivars of these long-blooming plants that are especially well suited for your garden. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.
