Our flower gardens tend to be filled with spring and summer-blooming perennials, since these are most abundant in the garden centers when we’re doing our spring shopping.
Many of these plants are starting to look a little worn out this time of year. Late-season perennials, however, are just hitting their stride, and make a big difference if you’ve made a point to include them in your garden.
