This is June. Is there a plant with blue flowers year round that I can plant now?
Question:I mean, for my flowers beds, outside my front window. Not trees.
Answers:
It depends on where you live, if you are in a mild climate there are several flowers that are beautifully-blue. One of my favorite is flax (linum) It is a perennial and flowers profusely. It has flowers that are periwinkle-blue and also make good cut flowers. Being a perennial it will flower all year with the exception of its -rest period in which all flowers have.Flax will live in almost all climates but its life is shortened by harsh weather.
Other blue flower perennials:
bachelor buttons (centaurea)(anoth favorite)
delphinium
larkspur(more of a purple-blue)
blue morning glories
blue petunias
monkshood (aconite)
muscari (grape hyacinth) blue-purple
Hope this is helpful
god bless, grandma
I just planted a blue columbine with a mounding habit, but I live in zone 9 where most annuals behave like perennials and bloom year round. It is a perennial plant, however, and depending on your zone it will continue blooming long after the hang tag says it does.
There is a variety of hydrangea called endless summer. It blooms pink naturally, but if you plant them in acidic soil (treat with something like Muracid), they bloom a beautiful romantic blue color. Just search "endless summer hydrangea" online to see a photo. I love them.
In a warmer climate you could plant plumeria. It is a shrub that gets a blue bloom all year. It is low maintenance and good in dry weather.
yes
