Plants with Lasting Color
Everyone wants their garden to have color all season long, with a mixture of the following plants; you can have just that! The majority of plants will bloom somewhere between 4-6 weeks; and if deadheaded, even longer. Because all plants do not blooms all season, mixing annuals, perennials and shrubs together will give you color starting in the spring, continuing through the summer and into the fall.
