Perennial shrubs that bloom all summer

Flowers

If you've decided to plant perennials in your garden, it's a good idea to choose the ones you like and plan the planting area so that overgrown shrubs, which can often reach up to 3 meters in height and spread, don't obscure other plantings.

So, let's figure out what perennial shrubs there are that bloom all summer long, and choose the most suitable ones for your garden.

Forsythia

To bring beauty to your garden with the first rays of spring sunshine, plant forsythia. As soon as the snow melts, its beauty will immediately reveal itself – yellow flowers, like little suns, will brighten the garden. After flowering, foliage will emerge and new shoots will appear. The plant is frost-hardy and grows easily even in temperate climates, which is why it's first on our list of perennials. It grows to 1-3 meters.

Magnolia

Following the forsythia, magnolia will delight with its beauty. This fragrant, delicate Japanese beauty, growing up to 2.5 meters, first blooms with flowers, followed by foliage. In temperate climates, the most frost-hardy magnolia species, Sieboldii and Kobus, thrive. In the south, a stunningly beautiful magnolia called Lilyflower is also grown.

Chaenomeles

At the end of May, this marvelous plant, also known as the "Japanese quince," blooms with delicate pink and white flowers, creating a stunning garden decoration. Three years after planting, the tree is covered with yellow, highly nutritious fruits.

Spiraea Grefshtein

By mid-May it is already blooming.

This delightful plant with snow-white flowers is a favorite among gardeners. Besides its beauty, spirea is loved by gardeners for its low maintenance and drought resistance. It loves light, so choose the sunniest spot in your garden and you'll enjoy this shrub for a long time.

Lilac

What garden would be complete without it? Luxurious white or rich purple, pink, and lilac—these bushes often grow on streets and in gardens, and are among the first to delight with their delightful blooms and fragrance. If regularly trained, the bush will bloom abundantly. This very hardy shrub is suitable for planting in all regions.

Jasmine

The most winter-hardy of all shrubs, it can easily withstand temperatures as low as -25°C (-25°F), making it suitable for growing in climates other than the south. Beautiful and fragrant, sometimes reaching up to 3 meters tall, jasmine makes a wonderful addition to your garden, beginning to bloom as early as mid-June.

Hydrangea

Hydrangea's lush blooms delight and thrill from June to September. This undemanding shrub thrives in partial shade, adequate moisture, and acidic soil. With proper care and proper soil, these bushes can grow up to 3 meters tall, beautifying the garden and delighting the eye.

Snowberry

From midsummer, this marvelous shrub will bloom until September, showered with pink-red flowers. But that's not all—in the fall, the flowers wither and remain on the bushes, creating the impression of a still-blooming plant. In the fall, berries appear, and together with the flowers, they create an incredibly wonderful picture in an almost deserted garden. It reaches up to 2 meters in height. The berries can adorn the bushes even in winter.

To complete the picture, you can add to these beautiful perennials the leather smoke tree, beautiful in summer and autumn, covered with fluffy panicles, and the evergreen heather with its pink flowers, which adorn it in autumn, and your garden will come alive with bright colours and will delight you with its beauty for a long time.
