Summer Flowers
Summer flowers are the backbone of the perennial flower garden. This list is not all-inclusive but it sums up the commonly available (and a few not so commonly available) flowers that will bloom in mid-summer and carry the garden onto the fall bloomers.
I note that many of these make excellent cut flowers. I also note that most are sun-worshippers although both astilbe and hosta are mid-summer bloomers that thrive in the shade and make good cut flowers.
Print out this list if you're going to a garden center in search of plants to brighten up that garden this summer.
