Don’t give up on a colorful garden this season. Although it is true that in many communities we are suffering the consequences of the drought typical of these months, this does not mean that you cannot have a paradise full of beautiful flowers.
You want to know what are the flowers that bloom in summer? There are many more than you might imagine. Look look…
Agapanthus
The Agapanthus They are beautiful perennials whose flowers, blue or white depending on the variety, will appear very soon: in July-August, when it is warmer. With a height of less than 60cm, they are ideal for very hot climates and little rainfall. They will look great even in a pot.
Antirrhine
The Antirrhine They are bi-annual flowers, that is, they complete their life cycle in two years, whose flowers are very curious and, as a consequence, very showy. It grows to a height of around one meter, and they are excellent for those corners of the garden where exposure to the sun is direct.
Crocosmia
The Crocosmia It is a bulbous plant of a beautiful red flower, which you can have in your garden along with other flowers. It is up to 125cm tall, so it is recommended to plant the bulb directly in the ground towards the end of winter.
digitalis
What to say about the digitalis? Ever since I first saw them in a documentary series by naturalist David Attenborough, I have fallen in love with these flowers. The plant also behaves as a bi-annual, and with a height of one meter together with its beautiful flowers, they will make your temperate garden have nothing to envy of spring.
gain
Our gazanias They are lively flowers that are grown in much of the world, not only for their low maintenance, but also and above all for their flowers. These open with the sun and close at sunset. There are several colors: yellow, white, bicolor … You can buy a few and plant them together, in such a way that you form a spectacular flower bed.
Lobelia
The Lobelia It is a short-lived perennial that grows to a height of 20cm. Its flowers appear throughout the plant, making it a very beautiful lilac-bluish carpet.
Phlox
Have you ever seen the flowers of the Phlox? They have a certain resemblance to those of Hydrangeas, right? It is a vivacious, moisture- and sun-loving plant that will bloom well into fall.
Tagetes
We finish this list with the Tagetesa very decorative annual plants. They have a height of about 20-30cm, and very beautiful flowers that have two colors, like the ones you see in the image above.
