Seasonal Progression

Create a garden Hummingbirds love by including these popular Hummingbird-attracting perennials. Profusion Perennial Salvia will be the first to bloom. When trimmed back, they will rebloom multiple times through the season. BEJEWELED® Bearded Penstemon will be next, starting in late spring and continuing into early summer. In midsummer MEANT TO BEE® Agastache will burst into bloom with large, floriferous habits. LUMINARY® Tall Garden Phlox will take over carrying the garden in midsummer with brightly colored blooms on large flower panicles. Sporadic rebloom on the LUMINARY® Tall Garden Phlox will add color in fall.
