My Top 5 Longest Blooming Perennials for Sun and a BONUS! Perrenials

[@HookedandRooted]

I have a few favorite perennials that I've come to love over the last few years in my garden. If you are just beginning a garden or redoing some beds, check out these sun loving work horse perennials. They are reliable perennials that are not fussy, and bloom their heads off for a really long time. Of course they need proper growing conditions, the right climate, soil, water, and light. But otherwise, these sun loving perennials will bring you lots of color and joy in your garden for years to come! Comment below if you have any of these perennials in your garden?

Shasta daisy, Sedum autumn Joy, Yarrow, Napeta, Coneflower, Scabiosa. Thanks so much for a great video.

[@ytubechannel997]

My honorable mention would be Russian Sage with its long bloom time and great glaucous foliage.

[@HookedandRooted]

great option! I don't grow it yet, so I couldn't speak from experience. But I picked some up this year, and will be planting it soon.

[@ltldxy71]

Yes! I lived 4 years in the Denver area. Nothing grows in the high desert. Well…almost nothing. But, Russian Sage did great! It’s gorgeous and smells amazing.

[@serenababy6358]

​@@ltldxy71 I live in Fruita, CO and Russian Sage loves our heavy clay soil with full sun and no additional water. It's a must have for my garden and the bees love it.

I live in Finland and the pink scabiosa grows all over the place. They're so cute! But I found a colour of them that just blew me away: Scabiosa atropurpurea Cherry Red.

[@quailhollow7955]

Your garden is just gorgeous. As a fellow Massachusetts gardener, I love seeing what you are growing. I have been marveling over your bonus choice myself! I bought them this Spring and never expected such a long bloom time. They deal with a hot sun, not so great soil area, and an ever growing bunny family without flagging! I definitely need to up my coneflower game! Thank you so much. ❤️🌸🌼

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there!! Yay another Massachusetts gardener, welcome!! Those scabiosa are great!! this is only my second year with them, and I'm already in love! They bloom for soooooo long!! I had some through frost last year! I just went through last night and cut mine all back to encourage new blooms, only left a few standing so i expect them to be gorgeous again in a couple weeks. I even bought 2 more this spring when Lowes was having a 2/$10 perrenial sale and put them in planters on my front porch, and even in containers they are blooming their heads off. We have bunnies too, and they don't seem to bother the scabiosa. I do spray my coneflowers though because we have deer too. I use invisible fence deer and rabbit. Thanks for watching!

[@valdiego-san]

Scabiosa = Just starting YESTERDAY I was thinking to have this plant, too when I stumbled upon it in local nursery (Scabiosa "Fama Deep Blue", so gorgeous). But I read this plant is "short-lived", i.e. 2-3 years. That gave me a pause whether it is worth to have it ... ☹

That comparison of the Autumn Joy sedum growth in part shade vs sun is fascinating. Side by side, there's the evidence of actual growth, and thanks so much for showing us!

Wow very beautiful garden, thank you for sharing your top choices of long blooming perennials. I live in Toronto, Canada which is zone 5 and I have a few Geranium Rozanne plants in my garden. They bloom from Spring to end of Fall. The flowers start to disappear sometime in November. They are absolutely a must in any garden.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much, and thanks for the recommendation of the Geranium. I've heard that from many Gardeners. Sounds like I'll have to add some at some point 🌱

[@TSD0416]

@@HookedandRooted Hi Steph, thank you so much for reading and replying to my comment. I highly recommend this perennial. It adds a bit of whimsy to the garden and is a pollinator magnet. The flowers are sterile and won't go to seed ever, that's why they are long lasting, plus one plant spreads and covers about 2-3 sq. foot area. You're gonna love this plant and the bees will love you for it. Good luck and keep up the excellent work.

It's always interesting to watch these types of videos from different parts of the country. Here in Texas, a top-5 perennial list would almost certainly include one or more Salvia, which blooms a lot during the Texas summer heat (Mystic Spires Blue Salvia being a particularly prolific bloomer). A lot of wonderful blooming plants in other parts of the country don't do so well here, which is why these videos are always great to get a different perspective.

Can't wait to get started!! Thanks again.

[@hog7203]

One of my favorite long blooming perennials is salvia guaranitica. Especially the cultivar Black and Blue. Hummingbirds go nuts over it. I like and grow several of the perennial Salvia species. Salvia gregii is another good one. S.uliginosa is a good one also, but the bees love it so much they tend to knock the flowers off. It's also one of the few flowers that has true blue colors in it, and not purple.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much for sharing! I'll have to check out those salvias.
