Abundant Summer Petals: Long-Blooming Garden Flowers

Every home flower gardener wishes to grow those ideal plants that flower abundantly throughout the summer, and, hopefully, well into the fall. That can be a challenging request, but it can be done. Fortunately, this ebook can help you select plants that will make your beds and borders look outstanding for several months.

Many of the following plants are annuals; a few are perennials. Annuals are designed for abundant, colorful flowering, with the ultimate goal of seed production. If you are destined to live only one growing season, party-hearty with colorful blossoms while the good growing time remains!
Perennials, though, have the critical balance of forming limited flowers (and thus seeds) and conserving enough energy to live again for another year. There may not be many examples of long-blooming perennials, but some are available for your garden.
None of these plants is automatic in perpetual blooming. They do require periodic spent-flower clipping to prevent excessive seed formation, which robs the plant of the energy needed to create new blossoms. Also, occasional watering and nutrient fertilization are vital for boosting your plants’ overall health and blooming potential.
Many of the following plants have a vast selection of colorful varieties. Other listed plants are less common, some rare, and you should grow them not only for their uniqueness but also for their delightfully colorful blossoms. Be daring and let your gardening talents be noticed all summer long.
