Perennial Flowers- Early to Mid-Summer Bloom Time

All perennials have their time in the sun! Just as your early bloomers begin to fade, these beauties take over the spotlight for your summer garden. These were picked for your sunny garden with the belief that they can tolerate poor soil, high wind and just an occasional deep watering.


Caesars Brother Iris  Caesar's Brother Iris (Iris siberica 'Caesar's Brother') Caesars Brother Iris

This outstanding iris is a native of Siberia and is a perfect fit around a water feature, as it needs consistently moist soils.  What sets this iris apart from others is the 2- 3 inch velvety violet blue flowers that bloom in June - truly spectacular.  At nearly 3 feet tall, this Iris will be a presence onto itself.

Daylily

Yes, Daylilies are in the lily family. As the name suggests their bloom is but for a day. Daylilies are easy to grow, colorful and extremely accomodating under Wyoming conditions. Good draining soils are a must for Daylilies, but otherwise they can handle short periods of drought. To get the most blooms from Daylilies make sure they get at least 5 hours of direct sunlight. Consider using daylilies for color in shrub beds, on slopes for erosion control or to blend their naturalizing effect along fences, decks, steps and even statues.

Penstemons

Penstemons are wonderful natives and hybrids of all sizes with a wide range of bloom times for the water-wise garden or your patch of prairie! From white thru purple and from pale pastel to fully saturated hues, flowers are usually borne along stalks above basal foliage.  Size ranges from tiny rock garden gems with grass-like foliage thru wild snapdragons with pink blooms on the top 3 feet of 5 foot tall stems! Keep yourself and hummingbirds happy and plant many species of penstemon!
The key to Penstemon success is two-fold, do not over water or they will grow floppy or die and second, do not over fertilize. Most will live more years in our mineral soils than in a tended garden bed! You will be rewarded for your restraint. The hands on gardener can dead-head to prolong some species blossoming and add years to the plant’s life.

Create garden windbreaks with shrubs, fences, durable perennials, and grasses so that your "Sunny Garden"  perennials can thrive through the intensity of summer. Many are tall grass prairie derived and are accustomed to natural shelter from the brunt of wind and continual beating of summer sun.  Just match plants by water need and sun level. That is the way to long life and vigor in the garden. Plan the basics now and if need be tweak it next year. Perennials are forgiving! 

Rain Gauge

Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:

These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant death.

These plants are adapted to intermittent deep watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care.

These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these.
