What to Plant for June Blooms?
Comments (9)The nice thing about June in Zone 8 is that there are so many annuals/perennials available at the nurseries and garden centers. You can purchase them in May and they should be looking really nice in June. Some of my favorite shrubs which are quite colorful and do well in full sun and the heat of Z8 are gold mound spirea and golden abelia. If she plants them this year, they will almost double in size for next year (or at least mine did). The gold mound spirea is limey-colored and has pretty tiny pink flowers. The golden abelia is incredible -- has red stems and chartreause to gold leaves with little white flowers. I have contrasting annuals around the shrubs -- pink begonias look nice against the lime of the spirea. My zinnias look nice next to the abelia and they were planted by seed and I believe they were blooming nicely in June. I believe my Shasta Daisies were blooming in June too....See MoreJune 2020 Blooms
Comments (35)I couldn't find a thread for July 2020 blooms, and so I will add some July photos here. I've been in the desert for most of July but got back to Los Angeles in time to see these flowers:Night blooming Queen of the Night (taken with flash)taken without flash - just the porch light Five flowers Monday night Five flowers Sunday nightOncidium orchid - I guess this is a sort of succulent. I was lucky to get back in time to see this one, which I normally keep in my back yard all year and neglect somewhat. My next door neighbor did the watering for me while we were gone....See MoreWhat’s up with this June?
Comments (7)That could be a fasciated scape. Here is a quote taken from https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/plants_with_abnormal_growths_the_interesting_phenomenon_of_plant_fasciation "There are a number of possibilities as to why fasciation occurs that relate to hormonal, genetic, bacterial, fungal, viral and environmental causes. It could be any one of several reasons and none are within the range for the smart gardener to repair. However, those same smart gardeners will realize they just have to prune out the offending stem and the problem is solved in almost every case. As the plant continues to grow, there are no more plant mistakes. Plant fasciation is one of the mysteries of the garden, but be a smart gardener and remove the odd growth. If nothing else, fasciation is fascinating." By the way, not sure you meant that this is hosta June. Looks like Guacamole....See MoreWhat’s still blooming?
Comments (51)Rosapeimula: I only have 2 kordes rose 🌹now: Beverly and summer romance. Bith I got a couple weeks ago at fall sale so I will see. hofelly the will live up to the expectation, healthy, blooming well and well behaving :) primula is a pretty name, the rose has a beautiful color, and it is said both the flowers and leaves are fragrant! Prairiemoon: the pineapple sage is indeed sage. I had to move from the flower side bed to a new one far from the house. It is welcome to take all the space there if it could! Unfortunately no hummingbird. I think they are all gone, bit bees come to it. I thoguht bees are not attracted to red but obviously I wa wrong. Yes the brugs are toxic. I used to grow a lot of them before. When we had our dog, I digged them all. Now with the dog passed I started to grow the brug again. It is really quicknfix in a garden...See More

4 years agoSuch lovely gardens, everyone! Here are my monster sized Rozanne geranium, they were planted last year and are well over two feet tall (and wide) this year. They are just starting to bloom and are so pretty, but they are as big as my Little Quickfires, which I did not expect! Any tips for keeping these beauties under control?

Clematis Marie Louise Jensen...hard pruned in spring. Neglected to train it back on trellis...now it’s smothering it’s neighbors. Lesson learned.
Hard pruned smoke bushes filling out nicely. Multi stem...

Aralia sun king finally putting on some height! Like the layered form...

4 years agoJust lovely GardenHo and all! Your Iris s. looks like it could be 'Ruffled Velvet'. Are the blooms quite large?
I am late to the party because it has been an extremely cool and wet spring with a couple of hot days thrown in. You are all way ahead of me.
Peony 'Early Scout' pretty much done now.
Euphorbia myrsinites
Phlox stolonifera 'Home Fires'
Iris s. 'Caesars Brother'
Iris s. 'Roanokes Choice' just starting.
Lupins are enjoying the cool, wet year.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoThese are some of the things that were blooming at the beginning of June, including my first bloom on my Bartzella itoh peony:
I love this Lamium 'Shell Pink' but regret planting it behind a much taller woodland phlox.
Wish I knew what cultivar of Veronica this is - it forms a very low mat of foliage, and then the very light pink flowers pop up to about 5 inches high. The dangers of the clearance rack... You can see my chives, which are confined to a galvanized tub, flowering in the background - unfortunately, these pretty purple ones are mixed with the thuggish white ones which bloom later - hence the tub.
The front garden is a colorful mish-mash that changes daily, but the Incrediball hydrangeas are forming a nice backdrop - they were three leaves when planted in April 2017 and now they are taking over the world.
My Blue Enchantress hydrangea is starting to bloom, too.
This angle, taken from the affectionately named "Hot Corner" where I stash all my oranges, reds, hot pinks, and bright yellows, shows why I have a hard time posting full garden shots - my gardens are bordered by street signs, neighbors' cars, bins, and basketball hoops - it's hard to get just garden without distractions. My only sun is in the absolute front of the property.
Not much blooming in the woodland garden, but plenty of interesting foliage.
Raindrops on this lollipop lily because it has been soggy for a year around here.
Speaking of rain, and the hot corner, these wet red lilies are getting moved as soon as they are done blooming because they are just too loud for this border. But I love them.
Ok, coming up on the picture limit - here's more of what's blooming right now:

My garden pictures · More Info
Supertunias, alliums and nepeta: I had to pull out 4 hydrangeas paniculata from this garden bed, they died over the winter. I added 3 spireas Goldmound, 1 Pinus Moseri, sedums, orange lilies, delphiniums, malva, irises, 1 Picea glauca Pendula (at very end), echinaceas and pink salvias. From the original plantings, only one hydrangea and alliums remain. I like it a lot more now!

Irises and salvia. If you look in the background to the left, you’ll see the garden border from the picture above, and to the right is a new bed that I started this Spring.

Daylily season is winding down now in the heat of Virginia. These two NOIDs opened this morning. So glad the deer ate elsewhere. These are in the backyard near the creek which they follow daily past my property.

4 years agoSo funny GardenHo that you are so far ahead and yet my Allium moly is right on track with yours. I imagine if you tried the Showy lady's slipper you would be successful. It is native to your area too and you are probably a better gardener than the lady with the nursery lol! Just sayin'!

4 years agoThis is my giant Achillea sibirica subsp. Camtschatica. Also my hydrangea macrophyllas. I love how there is a purely blue and purely pink flower on the same plant, literally right next to each other. It’s the only pink flower of all my 6 hydrangeas too.. wonder what’s going on with the soil
