We’re finally feeling relief from hot temperatures and excessive humidity! Watering containers and annuals was a continual job. Luckily, there are a variety of perennials that tolerate the heat and continue to perform well, adding color and durability to the garden. If you’re interested in low maintenance perennials for the mid to late summer garden, consider the following:
Black Eyed Susan
Rudbeckia spp.
Allow for spent flowers to remain for songbirds!
Russian Sage
Perovskia atriplicifolia
Coneflower
Echinacea spp.
Another great seed source for songbirds!
Sedum
Hylotelephium spp.
Happy Gardening,
Ashley
