Create an Everblooming Garden

Written By Karrin Hathaway

Creating an everblooming garden in a cold growing zone requires careful selection of perennials that can thrive and produce flowers throughout the season. For spring blooms, consider planting Bleeding Heart, a delicate and enchanting perennial that offers unique heart-shaped flowers. To achieve summer-long color, opt for the vibrant and hardy Coneflower, a drought-tolerant plant that attracts butterflies and bees. For fall, the enchanting Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is an excellent choice, producing stunning clusters of pink flowers that transition to rich bronze as the season progresses. These perennials not only provide a continuous display of color but also withstand the chill of a cold growing zone, ensuring a beautiful garden all season long.
