JUNE IS PERENNIAL GARDEN MONTH!

After the mad rush of spring planting and garden maintenance, it is a relief to take a more leisurely, yet studied approach to the perennial garden during the month of June. 

 
June is the perfect time to purchase and plant perennials. In June the garden center will feature larger, more mature, flowering plants than often are available during the spring. June is a great month to initiate, rejuvenate, or redo a perennial garden area!

Visit a local botanic garden or garden center in June to see new perennials that you can add to your home borders. Pay attention to the June bloomers as well as the emerging and later blooming flowers of Summer.
 

Some great June perennial options:

Agapanthus, Artemisia, Sedum 'Carmen"
Hemerocallis 'Happy Returns'
Rudbeckia 'Goldstrum'
Astilbe 'Veronica Klose'
Achillea 'Moonshine' Salvia nemorosa Scabiosa 'Pink Mist'
Iris sibirica
Leucanthemum 'Becky'
Lychnis chalcedonica
