We like big blooms and we cannot lie! Summer is a time when your garden delivers a riot of color and texture, not to mention attracting beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds. With the hot sun comes a variety of blooms in hot colors like flaming magenta, golden yellow, and electric purple. We've put together a list of our 30 favorite summer buds that are in bloom from June through August-and even beyond, depending on where you live.
So what is the flower of the season, you ask? Anything goes! It all depends on your preference, and, of course, what kind of soil and sun exposure you're working with. Beginners may want to start out with the best hanging plants to add color and texture to a front porch or patio. If you know you're working with at least 6 hours of sun a day, you'll want to try the best annual flowers from your local garden center. Romantics at heart may want to try their (green) thumbs at roses-it's not that difficult to learn how to prune roses the right way. Whatever your bloomin' pleasure, read on to see our favorites from Allium to Zinnia. Happy planting!
