What are the best summer blooming perennials?

There are many great summer-blooming perennials, but some of the best include:

Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia fulgida): A classic summer flower with daisy-like blooms in shades of yellow, orange, and red. Blooms from mid-summer to fall.

Daylily (Hemerocallis): Available in a wide range of colors and sizes, with blooms that last for just one day but open continuously over several weeks.

Coneflower (Echinacea): These daisy-like flowers come in various colors, including purple, pink, and white. They are tough and easy to care for, and they attract butterflies.

Lavender (Lavandula): Fragrant purple flowers that bloom in mid-summer. Lavender is also a drought-tolerant plant.

Phlox paniculata: Tall plants with large clusters of fragrant flowers in shades of pink, purple, and white. Blooms from mid-summer to fall.

Coreopsis: Cheerful daisy-like flowers in shades of yellow, orange, and red. Blooms from early summer to fall.

Salvia nemorosa: Another great choice for attracting butterflies, with spikes of purple, blue, or pink flowers. Blooms from early summer to fall.

Gaillardia (Gaillardia grandiflora): Blanketflower blooms in late summer and fall with daisy-like flowers in shades of yellow, red, and orange.

Aster: These fall-blooming perennials come in a wide range of colors, including purple, pink, and white. They are a valuable food source for pollinators.

Catmint (Nepeta x faassenii): A low-growing plant with fragrant lavender flowers that bloom from late spring to fall. It is deer-resistant and attracts pollinators.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium): A tough and adaptable plant with flat clusters of white, yellow, pink, or red flowers that bloom from early summer to fall. It is drought-tolerant and attracts butterflies.

These are just a few of the many great summer-blooming perennials. When choosing perennials for your garden, consider your climate, soil conditions, and the amount of sunlight the plants will receive. With a little planning, you can enjoy beautiful flowers in your garden all summer long.

Do summer blooming perennial plants attract pollinators?

Many summer blooming perennial plants are excellent at attracting pollinators! In fact, incorporating them into your garden can be a wonderful way to support the important work of bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial insects. Here is how:

Features that attract pollinators:

Bright colors: Pollinators, especially butterflies and bees, are drawn to vibrant colors like yellow, orange, purple, pink, and blue.
Open flower shapes: Flat or cup-shaped flowers with easy access to nectar and pollen are more pollinator-friendly than closed or tubular blooms.
Fragrance: Many summer bloomers release sweet scents that attract pollinators from afar.
Nectar and pollen: Of course, the ultimate draw for pollinators is a reliable source of both nectar and pollen for their energy and reproduction needs.

Popular pollinator-attracting summer bloomers:

Coneflowers: A classic choice with daisy-like flowers in various colors, loved by bees and butterflies.
Daylilies: Easy to care for and offer continuous blooms throughout the summer, attracting bees and hummingbirds.
Lavender: Fragrant blooms and foliage, beloved by bees and butterflies.
Sedum: Drought-tolerant succulent with showy flower clusters, attracting a variety of pollinators.
Butterfly weed: As the name suggests, specifically attracts Monarch butterflies by providing food for their larvae.
Catmint: Fragrant blue or purple flowers adored by bees and hummingbirds.
Zinnia: Easy to grow annuals with bright, long-lasting blooms that attract all types of pollinators.

Tips for creating a pollinator-friendly garden:

Plant a variety of bloom times: Ensure a continuous food source for pollinators by choosing plants that bloom throughout the summer, starting early and ending late.
Group similar plants together: This creates larger patches of color and scent, making them more noticeable to pollinators.
Provide shelter and nesting sites: Include rocks, logs, or even small birdhouses to offer safe havens for pollinators.
Avoid pesticides: Opt for natural pest control methods to protect beneficial insects.

By incorporating these ideas, you can create a beautiful summer garden that not only brings you joy but also supports the valuable work of pollinators in your local ecosystem.
