If
flowers are your thing, this is the garden
for you. Seven high-performance perennials
will give you plenty of flowers, all summer
long and into fall. Tuck the garden into
a corner or plop it in the middle of the
lawn—these plants will put on a show wherever
they get six hours or more of sunlight daily.
If you want to add some extra flowers in
early spring, be sure to include the four
varieties of bulbs at the bottom of the
plant list.
