You asked, we listened! One of the most common questions we receive from customers is which of the perennials and shrubs we offer bloom the longest. Thankfully, there are many options – more than ever before. We’re sharing ten of our favorites with you here, plus lists of even more varieties so you can explore further. Let’s see which stand out as the very best in their class.
By nature, perennials and shrubs bloom cyclically. We look forward to lilacs blooming in the springtime and roses in the summer, for instance. In the not-too-distant past, reblooming or long blooming cultivars of these and many other common plants we grow today did not yet exist. Thanks to the hard work of plant breeders around the world, we can now take it for granted that coneflowers will bloom all summer in multiple colors, and that hydrangeas will rebloom even if you accidentally prune them at the wrong time of year. It has made planning a garden where something is always in bloom much easier, even for beginner gardeners.
Among all the reblooming and long blooming perennial and shrubs, a number of cultivars stand out as the very best in class. We’ll share ten of them with you below, along with a short list of even more to explore further.
