Long Flowering Perennials

Non-stop color all season long? Yes, please! These attractive flowers are versatile thanks to their array of colors, and you can plant them in a new or established garden. Long flowering perennials are ideal for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) areas, surviving cold winters and growing back at the start of the next season.

They’re the perfect choice for a butterfly or cut flower garden. Planting with spring- or summer-blooming shrubs creates a beautiful show of color all season long. While most are naturally long-blooming, pruning and removing spent flowers encourages new flowers to emerge. Create a garden you can enjoy all season long with these stunning perennial flowers.

Why Continuous Blooming Perennials?

Aside from their striking color, having long-lasting perennial flowers brings a host of other advantages. When planting them alongside other flowers and greenery, you can create an eye-catching garden filled with flowers of various colors, growth heights and foliage. Below are some more benefits of choosing these types of flowers:

  • Benefit from cost-effective planting: Continuous blooming perennials can save money, as you won’t have to replace them with flowers that only bloom in spring or summer. Under the right conditions, these flowers typically last for two years or more.
  • Get extended color and beauty: You can enjoy the beauty of these flowers for longer. They bloom in spring or summer and into fall, with the aboveground parts dying in winter. Once the next season starts, their roots regrow for a thriving garden throughout the warmer seasons.
  • Enjoy low-maintenance care: Perennials return year after year, so there’s no need to replace them at the start of every season. Apart from regular upkeep, you can enjoy low-maintenance flowers that are easy to integrate into existing gardens and lovely to admire.

Choosing the Right Long-Lasting Perennial Flowers

Whether you want perennials that flower all summer long or ones that also flourish well into fall, the types you choose will depend on what you want to achieve.

Aster Purple Dome and Aster Wood’s Purple suit various gardens and are great choices for homes and apartment blocks. The Wood’s series is especially compact and offers a tidy appearance. The Astilbe Vision in White and Calamint White Cloud are also excellent choices for shared and commercial properties, as their pale color is classic and sophisticated and blends well with almost any outdoor architecture and design.

Coneflower Cheyenne Spirit adds a cheery feel, while Black-Eyed Susan American Gold Rush suits any landscaping project, as these flowers capture the color and essence of spring and summer.

For color that pops, opt for vibrant pinks that bring warmth, like the Dianthus Kahori® or Ice Plant Jewel of Desert Ruby.
