What’s In Bloom: Mid-Summer Blooms

We’re highlighting some of our favorite perennials that are flowering (or fruiting!) in our gardens. This will focus primarily on July-August, or mid-summer, blooms. Most people do not think of July and August as months that are particularly ‘exciting’ in the garden (just ask any gardener, they’ll say their favorite month in the garden is May), but it’s when our gardens start to be their most full. Every bed is green, colorful, and alive with the hum of bumblebees and hummingbirds.

We invite you to make a garden reservation to see these blooms in person.

Listed below are some perennials with unique seasonal interest:

• Allium sphaerocephalon
• Asclepias incarnata
• Monarda didyma ‘Raspberry wine’
• Sambucus canadensis
• Malva sylvestris
• Hollyhock
• Clematis
• Helenium autumnale
• Hordeum jubatum (not pictured)
• Phlox paniculata (not pictured)
