These hardy plants are the garden’s backbone, flourishing throughout the growing season until freezing temperatures force them into hibernation until spring. And then they grow up and do it all again, bigger and better. What’s not to love?”

June is a great month to initiate, rejuvenate, or redo a perennial garden area!

Some great June perennial Options:

Agapanthus, Artemisia, Sedum
Hemerocallis
Rudbeckia ‘Goldstrum’
Astilbe
Achillea ‘Moonshine’ Salvia nemorosa Scabiosa ‘Pink Mist’
Iris sibirica
Leucanthemum
Lychnis chalcedonica
Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’
Nepeta xfaassenii

Combine plants with different characteristics, and don’t overlook the value of contrasting colors – purple and red or orange may sound crazy but it is an excellent color combination in a summer garden. When designed for continuous bloom, the garden will be ever-changing and lovely, May through November.

If you garden in the shade, don’t despair. You can easily garden with perennials that grow where the sun doesn’t shine.
