What perennial lilies bloom all summer?
The All Summer Lily Garden includes a mix of Asiatic, oriental, trumpet and tiger lilies. The flowers start in early summer with the bi-colored and speckled Asiatic lilies. They’re followed by the brightly colored, fragrant trumpet lilies. Finishing out the season are the sweetly fragrant oriental lilies. Asiatic lilies are one of the easiest lilies to grow. A colorful addition to any garden, Asiatic lilies are extremely hardy, are not particular about soil type and require no staking. Daylilies are often known as the perfect perennial as they require little maintenance and thrive in almost any soil condition.Oriental Lilies stand out as the showstoppers of the lily world, boasting immense, intensely fragrant, and vividly colored blooms. These exotic hybrids, originating from Japan, grace gardens from mid to late summer, sometimes into fall.
Which coneflower blooms the longest?
Echinacea ‘Southern Belle’ (Coneflower) Blooming from early summer until frost, probably one of the longest blooming seasons for an Echinacea hybrid, this eye-catching perennial is perfect for perennial borders, prairies or cottage gardens. Confusingly, both rudbeckia and echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) are called coneflowers. Nevertheless, they are not the same plants. Although they belong to the same plant family (Asteraceae) and have similar flowers, they are not even closely related.Echinacea is one of the three different genera known as coneflowers. Some well-known species in the Echinacea genus include Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea. Members of the Echinacea species are known by their common name, purple coneflowers, or (confusingly) just coneflowers.
