Mid-Summer - The Best Plants to Grow in Your Garden

Mid-summer is a time of warmth, long days, and an abundance of blooms, as gardens are filled with a dazzling array of colors, textures, and fragrances. Mid-summer flowers provide an opportunity to enjoy the fullness of the season’s offerings. Some popular mid-summer flowers include:

  • Black-eyed Susans: cheerful, daisy-like summer flowers with bright yellow or orange petals surrounding a dark brown center. These easy-to-grow perennials are ideal for borders, wildflower gardens, and meadows, attracting butterflies and pollinators.
  • Coneflowers: popular summer flowers, valued for their hardiness, drought tolerance, and large, daisy-like flowers with raised central cones. Coneflowers come in various colors, including purple, pink, yellow, orange, and white, and attract bees, butterflies, and birds.
  • Daylilies: versatile summer flowers featuring trumpet-shaped blooms in various colors and patterns.
  • Hydrangeas: showy shrubs prized for their large, billowy blooms in shades of blue, pink, purple, white, and green. These long-blooming shrubs can be used as hedges, borders, or specimen plants.
  • Bee balms: A vibrant, aromatic flower that attracts bees and butterflies with shades of red, pink, purple, and white.
  • Coreopsis: A low-maintenance, sun-loving flower with bright yellow or red petals and a long bloom time.
  • Phlox: A fragrant, colorful flower with clusters of blooms in shades of pink, purple, blue, and white.

By carefully selecting and planting these mid-summer blooms, you will create a stunning display that celebrates the warmth and fullness of the season.
