Perennials that bloom all summer for the garden

If you have little time to tend to flowers but still want beautiful flowerbeds at home or in your garden, you need perennials. You can choose them once, planning your plot, and then leave them for years to come, enjoying the beauty of their blooms in your own garden. So, let's take a look at perennial flowers that bloom all summer long, including photos and names, and decide which is best for you, taking into account your soil, the amount of sun or shade in your garden, and your own preferences.

To do this, you need to take the following steps:

• sketch out a plan for the flower bed;
• decide on the size of the flower bed, the quality of the soil and the abundance or absence of sunny and shaded areas;
• select types of perennials according to soil, light conditions, humidity, etc.;
• decide on border flowers and their combination with the plants chosen for the flower bed;
• take into account the entire color gamut;
• choose flowers according to height - from low (for framing the flowerbed, tall - for the central part, and medium for a combination of all three types);
• choose based on flowering time and color palette.
Next, decide on the types of perennials based on their planting method:
• bulbs - these plants need to be dug up and stored (gladioli, lilies);
• roots - the most problem-free, they overwinter perfectly;
• seeds - check germination before planting, otherwise you will have to plant everything again later.

Once all these nuances are sorted out, more than half the job is done. Now it's time to determine which perennials bloom at what time, and for what duration—this is a crucial point that will ensure the longest possible blooming period, from April to October.

They bloom in spring

The following perennials will help your flowerbed start blooming as early as possible:

• Crocuses – these magical flowers, depending on the species, can bloom at different times, and only with them can you ensure long-lasting flowering in the garden.
• Daffodils – their delicate blooms begin with the first truly warm rays of sunshine, and then they pass the baton on. Their bulbs overwinter beautifully in the ground, require no cleaning for storage, and require minimal care. Give them a place along the edge of your flowerbed, and they will beautifully decorate it in early spring.
• Hyacinths – these pretty plants will delight you with their blooms as early as April, and the very first flowers are so beautiful and fragrant, and bring you the most joy! Plant them along the edges of your flowerbed; they will greatly decorate it.
• Periwinkle is a wonderful flower for a shady garden or its shaded corners, low-growing, with small, delicate blue flowers.
• Tulips are also early birds in our flowerbed; you can plant different types, and they will bloom one after another, decorating your still flowerless flowerbed with fresh colors.
• Bellflower - if properly cared for, this wonderful little one will bloom from spring until autumn and delight the eye. And how many varieties of bellflower there are; from this one, with all its species, you can create luxurious flowerbeds!

In May, primrose and bergenia flowers begin to open, followed by columbine and iris, then delphiniums, cornflowers and daylilies come into play.

They bloom all summer long

• Pansies are a magical low perennial that amazes with the beauty of its combination of colors and shapes.
• Cornflower is a delicate, low-growing plant, pleasant to the eye and suitable for edging a border or the edge of a flower bed.
• Delphinium – with its bright candles it delights all summer long.
• Hosta – tall, with luxurious large leaves, will decorate your flower bed.
• Daylily is a great choice for the center of a flower bed, tall and elegant.
• Peony is another contender for the central part of the flower bed.
• Lily is a gentle princess, on a high stem, shyly bending a luxurious large bud – beautiful and magnificent for the central part of a flower bed.
• Phlox paniculata is another contender for the top spot among your perennials, with a variety of colors.
• Astilbe is an unpretentious beauty, tall and bright, resistant to diseases.
• Gladioli are tall beauties that stand out from other greenery, and thanks to the modern availability of a huge number of colors, they can decorate half of the garden.

Suitable for harsh wintering

Candle-shaped delphiniums, delicate lupines, luxuriously fragrant peonies, and delightfully enchanting lilies of the valley are all found alongside them. Fuchsias and primroses also thrive in harsh conditions, and phlox, unpretentious, lush, and magical, overwinter well in flowerbeds. Among them, there are low-growing varieties that are ideal for edging flowerbeds, and they thrive alongside asters, and carnations also look beautiful in their company.
Astilbe, coreopsis, and campanula overwinter beautifully. A newly bred carnation is wonderfully adapted to winter and makes a wonderful flower border. Also consider asters—this easy-to-grow flower, if you choose different varieties, will delight you with discreet yet beautiful blooms from midsummer to late fall.

The most resilient of all our perennials are perhaps irises - you can find them everywhere - along the edges of fences, near public buildings, along curbs, and in park flowerbeds.

Shade-loving flowers

If you have a lot of shaded areas in your garden, magicians like the coin-flowered sparrow and its friend and companion, the lesser periwinkle, will come to your rescue. Astilbe can even grow and thrive in full shade—take note of this.

Sun-loving perennials

Sun lovers for the most exposed areas:
• field yalkolka
• Alpine rockcress
• Turkish carnation
• peonies

When planning your flower plantings, be sure to leave plenty of space between them so that taller plants don't overshadow shorter ones as they grow. And keep in mind that perennials become more lush and bushy with age.

And how beloved are perennials like roses—a truly royal plant, with a huge variety of species and colors. It's a shame their blooms don't last very long, and they're susceptible to many diseases. But with proper care, correct planting, and rotation of species, you can create a veritable rose garden and enjoy the beauty of these incredible, fragrant, and magical flowers. Incidentally, roses are great for cutting—don't skimp on them for indoor bouquets; cut them and give them to friends! Your bushes will delight you with repeat blooms—after all, instead of wasting energy on seed formation, the bush will direct its energy toward repeat blooms. This will bring joy to you, your friends, and your home will always be filled with the wonderful scent of roses.

Perennials are the most economical and labor-saving option for the garden. Plant a flowerbed the first season and leave it alone. Just observe how your flowers thrive, and consider any adjustments you might need to make for the next season—what to replant, where to add what. Perhaps you could add some annuals. Perennials are best replanted by dividing the clumps; this way, you can create entire plantings of beautiful, seasonally blooming plants to delight you and your family.
