thrives in the sun. They bloom around June or July with red, orange, yellow, purple, pink, and white flowers. Some varieties even have multiple colors simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plant the bulbs for these lilies in well-draining, somewhat acidic soil during the autumn. Ensure that you give these flowers plenty of water, especially when there is a drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Bee_Balm\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bee-balm\">Bee Balm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure

and sizes. Varieties can be blue, pink, purple, or white. The blooms always consist of five petals shaped like cups, bells, or stars. Bellflowers grow in a range of sizes. So they can make a great groundcover or border plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bellflowers are very low-maintenance. In some cases, these flowers can spread aggressively and may need some maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Black-Eyed_Susan\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-black-eyed-susan\">Black-Eyed

They make a beautiful addition to a sunny garden, and hummingbirds agree. The butterfly-like blooms drift delicately above uniquely lobed foliage. Unfortunately, these plants do not bloom for very long, but they reseed if you do not deadhead them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these plants like the sun, they may do better with only partial sun in hot climates. However, they do not need much watering, and they are fine with drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Coneflower\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coneflower\">Coneflower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure

The color can range in many shades, including red, orange, yellow, purple, white, and pink. Thanks to their size range, these plants can make a lovely addition to a border or as a tall component to an autumnal garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these flowers can easily do well in warmer zones, they can often only be grown as annuals in colder areas. You can easily dig up the dahlia tubers every year to protect them from cold before planting them again next year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Daylily\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-daylily\">Daylily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/proxy-botanicalinterestscom.epicgardening.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Hemerocallis-fulva.jpg\" alt=\"Two bright orange flowers with long pointed petals that curl away from the center.

Not only are the bold, orange blooms striking, but the long and slender foliage adds a lot of texture and bulk to your yard. This plant gets its name from the way that its blooms only last for a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These plants are very low-maintenance. They will grow in many different soil types but try to plant them in moist, well-draining soil if you can. The only time you should be slightly attentive is when the lily is first getting established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Delphinium\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-delphinium\">Delphinium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/proxy-botanicalinterestscom.epicgardening.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Delphinium-spp.jpg\" alt=\"Field of tall bushy flowers that range from white to purple and dark blue.

They enjoy moist yet cool weather and do not do well in hot or dry weather. Delphinium is very poisonous to humans and animals.

biennials. When purchasing, pay special attention to ensure that you get the type you want. In general, these plants have beautiful thin bluish foliage. The blooms are notable due to the unique jagged edge of their petals. They can be pink, red, purple, or white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dianthus flowers are pretty easy to grow no matter what environment you grow them in. It is mostly just important that they have well-draining soil. If you want to encourage blooming, you want to give them plenty of sun and deadhead them regularly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Hardy_Geranium\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hardy-geranium\">Hardy Geranium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/proxy-botanicalinterestscom.epicgardening.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Geranium-spp.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of several purple flowers with five flat rounded petals that have red looking veins on each petal.

Often they grow low and spread wide. The flowers grow above the carpet-like foliage of the plant. Those blooms are blue, pink, purple, or white. Depending on the variety, you may see a single bloom, multiple blooms, or consistent blooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These plants generally like rich, well-draining soil and a relatively dry environment.

You can recognize these tall plants by their height and their large blooms. As a result of their height, hollyhocks are a lovely plant to place along a fence. These flowers also self-seed. These plants may produce double or single-layered blooms in red, yellow, pink, white, and purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hollyhock is relatively hardy and adaptable. The only factor that needs special attention with the hollyhock is placement. Due to their height, poor placement can make them vulnerable to getting blown over. It is also vital to give the plants plenty of well-draining soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Ice_Plant\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ice-plant\">Ice Plant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/proxy-botanicalinterestscom.epicgardening.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Delosperma-spp.-Lampranthus-spp.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of two bright pinkish purple flowers.

You can generally recognize this plant by its long, thin foliage and its unique, six-lobed blooms. These plants can be grown from rhizomes or bulbs. The blooms may be bearded, crested, or neither and they come in red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, white, pink, or a mixture of a few colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some irises are easier to grow than others. In general, they like the sun and well-draining soil.

While avid rose growers will fret over the bushes, this is not strictly necessary, and the plants can thrive with very little attention. Some roses are small shrubs, while others can grow into large, climbing arrangements. The blooms of the rose can be red, orange, yellow, purple, pink, or white. Roses do well with a bit of fertilizing and without too much moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Sage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sage\">Sage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

It has a sweet, herbaceous scent and a beautiful appearance. Also used in cooking, it\u2019s a delicious addition to many dishes. Once established, the sage plant is a robust grower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this plant prefers full sun, it\u2019s a good idea to give it a bit of shade if you live in a hot area. Sage does best with slightly dryer conditions, and it does not do well when over-watered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Sedum\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sedum\">Sedum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure
