What plants are good for outside all year-round?
Evergreen flowering perennials will keep their green foliage all year, long after the blooming season is over. Many herbs are particularly known for being great practical flowering plants with evergreen foliage, such as lavender, rosemary, and salvia, among others. An evergreen is a tree, shrub or plant that continues to hold its lush green foliage year-round while requiring very little maintenance, making them outstanding landscape plants. Take it up a notch with ornamental evergreens. They are versatile, hardy and are an impressive addition to your landscape design.
What is the longest flowering summer plant?
Geranium. Probably one of the longest flowering garden plants, hardy geraniums start flowering around may, and continue to october, depending on the variety. One of the longest flowering varieties is geranium ‘johnson’s blue’ (illustrated) which is also attractive to bees. Butterfly bush have one of the longest bloom times of all garden plants: they seem to never be without flowers from early summer through autumn. This makes them perhaps better called “continuous bloomers” over rebloomers, since they don’t really take a break like other plants on this list do.
