Comments (18)Sun2shinie, My three top pick perennial Genera are: Salvia, Phlox, and Coreopsis. Salvia because of the blues/purples, vertical growth, and in the case of Salvia, 'May Night,' which will send up fresh flowering growth from its crown, if faithfully dead headed, fertilized, and watered, from spring to fall. Its stems are extremely stiff, never flopping. Other newer Salvia introductions are far better garden plants than old 'East Friesland,' and 'Blue Hill,' which can flop over. Coreopsis verticillata is invaluable in its many named varieties, starting with 'Moonbeam.' Make sure to choose winter hardy C. verticillata....some are not winter hardy in my zone 5/6, but you should be able to grow the more tender pink, bicolor, and burgundy ones with full winter hardiness in zone 7. They act like a yellow baby's breath (and other colors too, as refered to above), in the garden, softening any planting, with their abundant, but airy flowers. Phlox paniculata are available from 4' giants to 18" shorties. 'David' and 'Shortwood,' should be in every garden. 'Red Riding Hood,' is the best red. Nothing says summertime like Phlox paniculata.
