Perennials Monthly Bloom Calendar

Perennials are herbaceous plants that return year after year to deliver amazing color and long bloom cycles. Many are also excellent for pollinator gardening, and they look particularly striking when planted en masse! The tricky part is, different perennials do have different bloom times – and this can be confusing if you weren’t aware. No worries. If you love gardening with perennials, but you’re not quite sure what blooms when, scroll for a monthly sampling. It’s an easy way to curate a diverse, progressively flowering perennial garden for all-season color and attracting pollinators!

It’s easy to grow a perennial garden that’s always in bloom when you know what blooms when. March & April bring on a handful of perennials when we’re most eager to see something, anything in bloom after a Northeast Ohio winter. May is when many of our best, most reliable perennials burst onto the scene. June brings yet another flush of cheerful flowers that steal the show, many of which continue for months. Even in the heat of July & August, there are new perennials to behold. Heading into September, texture-rich fall perennials command the stage one last time and well into the frosty nights. And anytime you’re out of ideas, just swing by Petitti’s and explore the array of perennials in bloom at that time on our tables. Now you know, and can shop all perennials with confidence!
