With the summer well underway, the time has come to reshape your garden in celebration of the new season. Naturally, flowers can go a long way in refreshing your yard’s appearance. Here are some of the best flowers you can grow in your garden this summer.
Zinnia
Not only do these vibrant flowers withstand the sun’s powerful summer rays, but they actually thrive under them. Zinnias have a long bloom time, between two to five months, making them ideal to brighten up your garden this summer in their purple and violet hues.
Marigold
Much like their name suggests, these striking flowers exude a bright gold shimmer in the sunlight. Not only do they pop out of the green foliage, but marigolds take about two months to grow, meaning you can plant them in June and see them bloom in the August heat.
Mandevilla
Instantly noticeable thanks to their glossy green leaves, and sprawling pink petals, Mandevillas are low-maintenance with a long lifespan. If you plant them in spring, you’ll have the joy of seeing their bright pink petals dance for the entire summer. What’s more, they’re capable of growing in containers, as well as in the wild, making them adaptable to your specific garden setup.
