🌺The Biggest Flowers in the Summer Perennial Garden🌺

Episode 750

Ken & Lisa Lain, the Top 10 Gardeners, here! June is upon us, and you know what that means? Time for the summer perennial superstars to take center stage!

These beauties aren't just colorful companions in your garden beds, they're powerhouses of blooms that'll keep your yard dazzling all season long. Forget the tiny green blobs you see in spring – these perennials are exploding with life!

Let's talk about some of the biggest and brightest on the block:

Coneflowers (Echinacea): These Arizona favorites are all about heat tolerance and low maintenance. They come in a stunning range of colors, from the classic purple to fiery orange and sunny apricot varieties like 'Sangrita' and 'Fresco Apricot.' Pinch off the spent blooms to encourage even more flowers throughout the summer.
Delphinium: While typically known for cooler shades, the 'Red Lark Delphinium' brings a vibrant salmon pink to your garden. This beauty thrives in partial shade and adds a unique touch to shady areas.
Daylilies: June is prime time for daylilies! These versatile perennials come in a vast array of colors beyond the traditional yellow. Look for stunning burgundy varieties with yellow edges, perfect for sunny spots.
Agastache (Hyssop): This low-maintenance wonder boasts beautiful orange and pink blooms that attract hummingbirds like crazy. Unlike Russian sage, Agastache doesn't spread aggressively and features a delightful licorice scent that keeps deer and rabbits at bay.
Hypericum (St. John's Wort): Don't let the complicated name fool you! This sunshine-loving perennial offers cheerful yellow blooms that transform into bright red berries as summer fades. The dark green foliage creates a striking contrast, and the whole plant attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.

These are just a taste of the incredible summer perennials waiting for you at Watters. So come on down and let's create a blooming masterpiece in your yard together!
