best perennials for spring and summer blooming?

Posted on May 28, 2009 under Best Perennials |

I live in southeastern WI and I need both spring blooming perennials and summer blooming perennials. Any suggestions?

Wow so much to choose from! It sort of depends on what you want to get out of it. Do you want to attract butterflies, hummingbirds or maybe you just want continuous colour.
Some early blooming perennials are forget-me-not, primrose, oriental poppy, bleeding heart. Some of the later blooming ones that I love are bee balm, phlox, pincushion, black eyed Susan. Mix in some annuals so you are never without colour. The following is a great web site for reference:
