What flowers can be planted in late summer?

Most perennial gardens look dull and worn by late July. There are many perennials that can bloom in the late summer like coneflowers, asters and mums, Russian Sage, sedums, rudbeckia, cimicifuga and phlox.



Is it too late for annual planting in July?

It is safe to plant quick-growing annuals such as marigolds and lettuce through June. For annuals that are in larger containers, transplants can usually be obtained by July 1.

What are the best July flowers? You can sow perennial spring-flowering seeds in July if you have trays with good quality compost. You can also try bellis, delphinium, lupin, and aquilegia. Sow summer- flowering perennials like geranium, scabiosa and echinacea. Sow winter-flowering pansies indoors to prepare for winter containers.

Also, we were asked which August flowers are the best for planting?

You should try Calendula, Nigella, Cerinthe, Papaver, Aquilegia, and hardy Geranium. Order spring- flowering bulbs or buy them. Some bulbs, like Colchicum, daffodils, and Madonna Lililies (L. candidum), can be planted as soon as possible.
