what's blooming right now?

17 years ago

I need to add some color to my garden for this time next year. My daylilies are fading out, Bee Balm, holyhocks & Shasta Daisies are done - all that's left are black eyed susans, some Purple & White Coneflowers, annuals & some unknown type of perenniel sunflowers. Any suggestions as to what to plant for next year that's not yellow?

Thanks.

Near Flemington, the plants blooming in my garden are:

Balloon Flowers (the taller kind, not the drawf)
Anise Hyssop (blue fortune)
Clematis (Polish Spirit and some others I can't remember)
Roses (Pat Austin, Golden Celebration, Winchester Cathedral--all a being eaten by japanese beetles though)
Catmint Six Hills
Blackberry lily
Lavendar
Salvia

I guess I didn't realize how much blue/purple I have in my garden that is blooming right now.

Oriental lily, 'Casa Blanca'.

The roses Julia Child and Our Lady of Guadaloupe have had at least a handful of blooms since spring flush, and both are now loaded with buds and will bloom within the next couple of days.

Hi,

Besides some of the above, I have

Beautyberry (shrub)
Blue lobelia
Coreopsis
Yarrow
Lonicera sempervirens (native Honeysuckle) Alabama Crimson and Blanche Sandman
Dwarf spirea magic carpet
Clethra alnifolia ruby spice and hummingbird (shrubs)
Lagerstroemia indica Red rocket (crape myrtle) these are struggling because of the Japanese beetles (trees)

I also throw in some annuals such as sunflowers, nasturtiums, marigolds, etc. for some added color.
