June is fast approaching, and with the flurry of anticipated summer activity, it is time to plant both annuals and perennials to create your summer oasis.
Let me introduce you to some perennial flowers and shrubs that will be sure to awaken your summer senses for years to come!
Lilac Shrub
There is nothing like the heavenly smell of lilacs. These fragrant bushes come in a variety of colours and are also offered as a miniature shrub if you are short on space.
Clematis
This climber can make a statement on any fence, arbor or dusty old shed wall. Some of these June boomers will even bloom again throughout the season. They come in a variety of colours which will surely enhance any garden structure.
Iris
With its stunning colour palette, irises have dramatic foliage with leaves reminiscent of snake plants. These hardy perennials emerge early and can be divided after only a few years. These spectacular, delicate flowers will command attention in any garden.
Rioja Red
These plants make any garden look beautiful in June with their bright little flowers. You can display them in an open border garden, as ground cover or in containers. Margarita Rioja Red is a drought-tolerant daisy-like annual that enjoys full sun. This fragrant flower is perfect to cut and bring indoors or can be left outside to attract birds & butterflies.
Lilies
Lilies are sure to brighten any garden and your whole mood with their beautiful thick flowers of happiness. They come in a variety of different colours, and require very little care, making them the perfect addition to any garden.
Hydrangeas
This perennial skirting cottages of yesteryear has also enjoyed a resurgence. With their giant beautiful clusters of flowers, this hardy plant that comes in a diverse palette is sure to bring warmth into your garden and home, as well.
When planning a new garden, consider planting flowers that bloom at different times throughout the season. Staggering bloom times will ensure colour and lovely scents throughout the summer and fall. What bright colourful flowers are you planning for your garden this June?
Peonies are lovely too!
I visited Anna’s a week ago and was not only impressed with the awesome selection and price of plants and flowers, but also the set up for Covid-19. I felt very safe as great measures are being taken like sanitized carts, Specific entrances and exits and safe distancing within the greenhouses! Thank you!
Hi Lindsay! Wow, thank you so much for your kind words and support. Sharing your positive experience means a lot to our team!! Hope you stay well!
Im looking for an oakleaf hydrangea. I read they are good for shady areas.
Do you have any of those or could you suggest anything else. I have a spot that only gets some morning sun and want something in the light to darker pink tones.
Can you help me?
Thanks!
Hi there, unfortunately, we do not. However, we do have Astilbe.
Astilbes are long-blooming plume-like flowers held above airy foliage. Astilbes are one of the easiest perennial flowers to grow.
Plumes of flowers in pink, lavender, red, white and salmon rise above fern-like foliage.
Despite the virus restrictions, my husband and I enjoyed the beautiful plants and flowers. Always a nice selection and atmosphere. Special thanks for my birthday coupon!
Wonderful – we are so happy to hear that! 🙂 Thank you so much for your visit!
Good morning. Do you carry Mandevillas in stock? If so what height, colour, and cost? Thank you.
Hi Gerry – we do have Mandevilla available. It comes in 10″ for $24.99 or 6″ for $14.99. 6″ is available in red and 10″ is available in pink or red
Loving the perennials and annuals I picked up Friday. SO happy to have them planted and get to enjoy them now:). I also earned a gift card after this purchase (and did 2 curbside pickups earlier this year) so now another reason to come back!! Also found Anna’s so welcoming and safe for everyone …definitely one of my “happy places” 🙂
Aw Elisabeth! Thank you so much for your visit and kind words!
We are so happy to hear that you had a happy experience!
