Summer - Inspiring Garden Ideas for All Gardeners

Summer gardening is a delightful journey filled with countless vibrant colors, bountiful blooms, and sumptuous scents. With the right choice of plants, your summer garden can be a haven of relaxation and an inspiration to all.

Start with a variety of perennials that bloom in summer, like Daylilies, Black-eyed Susans, and Coneflowers. These plants not only add stunning colors but also attract beneficial insects and birds to your garden.

For a Mediterranean touch, consider adding Lavender, with its soothing scent and lovely purple blooms. To fill in your borders with lush green, Hostas are an excellent choice, offering a variety of leaf colors and textures and small but delightful flowers.

Incorporate tall grasses like Feather Reed Grass or Fountain Grass for added texture and movement. They sway gently in the breeze, adding a dynamic element to your landscape.

For an exotic feel, Canna Lilies, with their large, tropical-looking leaves and bright flowers, can provide a focal point. Similarly, Hibiscus flowers add a splash of tropical color to your summer garden.

To ensure continuous blooms, include annuals like Petunias, Marigolds, and Zinnias. They’ll provide vibrant color all summer long.

Don’t forget about edibles! Tomatoes, bell peppers, and herbs like basil and rosemary can all thrive in summer, adding fresh flavors to your kitchen.
