June: Perennial Gardening Month

June is Perennial Gardening Month, the perfect time to enhance your landscape with beautiful, low-maintenance plants that come back year after year. As the summer heat begins to set in, it's the ideal moment to embrace native perennials, which are naturally suited to thrive in these conditions.

Native perennials are not only well-adapted to our local climate, but they also support the ecosystem by providing food and habitat for native wildlife. With their deep roots, they are more resilient during dry spells, making them an environmentally friendly choice for your garden.

Now is the time to explore our perennials department for a wide selection of perennials. From vibrant coneflowers to delicate black-eyed Susans, there's a diverse range of options to suit every taste and garden style. Whether you're aiming for a colorful flower bed or a low-maintenance garden, there's a perennial for you.

June is the perfect time to purchase and plant perennials. In June we feature larger, more mature, flowering plants and even species or varities that were not available during the spring. June is a great month to initiate, rejuvenate, or redo a perennial garden area!

Some great June perennial options:

• Achillea

• Agapanthus

• Artemisia

• Astilbe

• Echinacea

• Grasses

• Hemerocallis

• Iris

• Leucanthemum

• Nepeta

• Rudbeckia

• Salvia

• Scabiosa

• Sedum

Planting perennials in June gives them an opportunity to establish their root systems before the intense summer heat arrives. With a little bit of care and attention, your newly planted perennials will be well-prepared to thrive and bloom in the seasons to come.

So, why not take advantage of Perennial Gardening Month and add some perennials to your garden? Not only will you be creating a beautiful and sustainable landscape, but you'll also be supporting the local ecosystem. Embrace the beauty and benefits of perennials this June!
