Joe Pye Weed
Despite its eerie name, this is a charming wildflower that attracts butterflies and birds to our Eastern meadows. E. maculatum ‘Gateway,’ for example, has wine-red stems that grow 5 to 7 feet tall and are crowned by dark rose nosegays a meter across. Because stems die down to the ground in the winter, use as a long anchor in a perennial bed or as a temporary screen.
Stella de Oro Daylily
Each of these summer wedding flower blossoms lasts only one day, whether in the yard or in a vase; after all, they are daylilies. However, each stem has a number of buds that open on different days. Stella de Oro, a low-growing daylily, produces new stalks with an abundance of golden-yellow blooms for up to 5 months, relatively longer than most daylilies.
Veronica
These blooms grow across the 12 to 24-inch bushes with a 7-inch spike and red or blue blossom colors. In the Northern Hemisphere, the flowering plant favors the light, whereas, in the Southern Hemisphere, it prefers some shade.
Marigolds
These bright yellow or orange blossoms add a splash of color to any garden bed. Pests are deterred by the plant’s distinct odor. Marigolds are very lovely as cut flowers. Many other marigolds resemble daisies, with only one or two rows of petals surrounding a dark center.
Bougainvillea
It’s a decorative vine that can cover your entire fence, pavement, and other neighboring surfaces. Bougainvillea is a Brazilian native flower that blooms all summer and that thrives in hot weather. It grows quickly, but be mindful of its stinging thorns, which should be handled with caution.
Purple Coneflower
From mid-summer through autumn, this perennial is covered in daisy-like flowers that are about 4 inches across. The plant with late summer flowers is particularly hardy and fuss-free, and you can split clumps to get new plants after several years. The flowers attract butterflies and keep well when clipped.
