Spring
Spring brings flowers from perennials, bulbs planted in the fall, and many native wildflowers which are spring ephemerals.
Summer
In the summer, we enjoy flowers from a variety of plants in the garden. We see a wide variety of annuals, perennials, trees, and shrubs that bloom at this time of the year.
Annual vinca are planted in the spring to bring color to the garden throughout the season. Varieties vary in color, including pink, purple, red, and white. These plants will often reseed in future years if planted in a favorable location.
Fall
Many plants slow down in the fall, but there is still much to enjoy in the garden. It’s a great time to visit when the weather starts to cool down.
Chrysanthemum x morifolium, or garden mums, are perennials that return to the garden year after year. This single flowered variety blooms in autumn and will remind gardeners of the annual chrysanthemums that are often sold at this time of year. These easy-to-grow perennials will spread when planted in a suitable spot and bloom best in full sun.
Many gardeners purchase chrysanthemum in the fall. Some varieties, like this one, are perennials that return to the garden year after year and bloom in the fall.
Tatarian aster features tall flower stalks that bloom in the fall. This is a fun addition to add height and interest during the fall.
Aromatic aster is a perennial with a mounding habit and attractive purple flowers in the fall. This plant is great for ensuring your fall garden has food for pollinators.
