Why did the gardener bury a 100 dollar bill under every new perennial? The day said they needed a rich floor.
Dollar bills could add a little organic matter if they break down, but it is not necessary to bury money to promote early summer color in flower beds and landscapes. We can simply plant perennials that bloom greatly in June.
Annual flowers in pots and planters on decks and terraces will soon be loaded with color when they become larger, become cascades with flowers with flowers and reach the top perfection until midsummer.
The early summer can be missing until the one -year -old purchase at full speed. However, if we plan properly, perennials can close the coloring in June and create one of the most colorful of the summer season this month.
A popular perennial of us that blooms at the end of May and extends far over mid-June is Salvia with its deep blue or blue-purple spike-shaped flowers. A few years ago, we planted masses of blue Salvia, a recently selection of all-America.
Blue by you has stronger stems than some older varieties, which it flutters less suddenly. Its flower spikes are robustly held over clean leaves and reach a height of about 20 inches.
Blue by you has proven itself in the past test winter, the lack of insulating snow caused death or damage in many established perennials.
Blue from them will bloom again in the middle of July when the spikes are shot down directly above the leaves after the fading of the flower. Even if they don't bloom, the deep green plants are attractive.

Blue by You is available in garden centers as potted plants, but if it is sold out for this season, you can add it to your wish list for the next spring. In addition to Blue by You, other beautiful, multi -year Salvia varieties are also on the market.
Next is the list of reliable perennials in June. The dwarf types bloom in May or early June, while the high bearded iris, also known as German iris, are fully advised in June.
The iris named after the goddess of the rainbow are available in more colors than in any other multi -year flower, whereby each color of the rainbow is even black and white.
Some Iris varieties are referred to as “rebloomers”, which means that they occasionally bloom again in September. One of the most common reflections is the variety non -disability, a beautiful white. Although the repeated flower is not safe, it happens regularly and seems to be dependent on the weather.
When Iris blooms, they roar the plants by removing the used flower stems. Even if Iris is not in bloom, the bluish green, sword-shaped leaves are attractive in flower gardens and landscapes.

The most pleasant multi -year gardens and landscapes are made by combining a mixture of flower times, shapes and colors. Iris are reliable perennials for Northern Garden and help in June to fulfill the color.
Without the venerable peonies, no mention of the perennials in the Juni-flowering perennial would be complete. A staple in pioneering flower plantings and Peonies can stay in place over more than a century.
At some point between the end of May and mid -June, peony blooms, depending on the weather and the place where peonies are planted. With the heat along the south side of the buildings, the peony blooms earlier.
Although September is the traditional successful date to dig, share or move an established peony, garden centers offer pot peony that can be planted all summer.
Peonies like Iris are beautiful, even if they don't bloom. The deep green, waxy leaves on strong stems create a shrub-like appearance and give landscape interest.
To improve the beauty of the post -flowers, remove the used flowers while fading and cut the stems of the flowers directly under the leaf level.
Powdered dabilz can lead to the leaves are unsightly and create a gray coating on leaves. Prevent the disease while the leaves are still healthy by applying a garden fungus in which mildew and peony lists on the label.
