I have a smallish garden space, but I’d like lots of flowers and colour. What plants could I use that bloom for a long time, so I can always have things flowering?
I don’t know whether your garden space is sunny or shady, but some suggestions are listed below. The hydrangeas, bleeding heart, corydalis, and hellebore will take some shade, but most of the others prefer sun.
Some other ideas for season-long colour: You could add some extra colour to your garden by choosing plants with foliage that adds colours other than green; many perennials and shrubs have purple, lime to gold, blue-green, or variegated options. Grow some flowering vines, such as clematis, up a trellis or fence. Plant some spring bulbs for early blooms in the garden, and add some annuals, which often bloom all season.
If you have room for a shrub, panicle hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata) bloom from midsummer on, and the blooms often change colour over time, from cream to pink. Shrub potentillas (Dasiphora fruticosa) also have a long bloom season, and come in several colours. A number of rose cultivars, particularly some new ones, will continue blooming for months.
