Petunias

Petunias are great to add to your flower garden because they are known for their long and lengthy bloom season. They’ll make their entrance around mid-Spring and will hang around till mid-Fall and come in a variety of colors. This makes it easy to use because there is a color for every garden.

Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are one of my favorites for a flower garden, and not just because they provide long-lasting Summer blooms! These flowers are known for blooming in early Spring and hanging around until the nights get nippy! Be sure that they get plenty of afternoon shade and are planted in acidic soil to make sure these long-blooming flowers live the longest they possibly can.

Marigold

My grandmother made sure that she always planted Marigolds somewhere in her Summer flower garden. Grow them from seed, or from seedlings purchased at a nursery. No matter your seeding method, give them ample water! Marigolds are also great for detracting bugs. Long-blooming flowers combined with bug detracting capabilities is a win-win!

Yarrow

Yarrow has an incredibly long bloom season, but their buds may need to be trimmed in mid-Summer to prevent the flower from spreading. These plants even have a great medicinal value.
