Flowering perennials can easily bring color to your garden throughout the summer, and beyond. Most perennials flower for at least two weeks and some for several months. Choosing a mix of perennials that begin blooming at different times can give you a continuously vibrant display all season long.
- Bloom time information can be found on plant labels or at My Garden Life Plant Library. Regular visits to the garden center throughout the season are a fun way to easily see what blooms when and which perennials you really like, face to flower, so to speak!
- Be sure to mix flowers forms for the most eye-pleasing display; such as daisy-like, spikes and bell-shaped.
- Matching your selections by sun and water requirements will also help to ensure your perennial display is lush and healthy.
