Cutting it back after it has bloomed will help to promote new flowers. Find out more. Pin It So You Don’t Forget It!

Flowers: Pink Bloom Time: Late Spring to Fall Bloomerang® Dwarf Pink is only one of the cultivars of the re-blooming Boomerang series. Just imagine having those beautiful fragrant flowers in your garden all season long! I like this one because of its bright pink flowers and small bush size. However if you’re looking for a traditional purple flower or larger plants, they are also available. Find out more. Super Fragrant Double Blue Lilac (Syringa) Light: Sun Zones: 2 to 8 Height: 6? to 8? Flowers: Double blue Bloom Time: Spring Scentara® Double Blue Lilac is (as you might have guessed from the name) a very fragrant bush with double blue-purple flowers. It’s more of a traditional lilac than the last one, in that it blooms once during the spring and grows to 8? tall and wide. However, it is a little more heat tolerant…so I will be definitely be trying this one in my SC garden! Find out more. Re-blooming Mountain Hydrangea (Hydrangea serrata) Light: Part Sun to Sun Zones: 5 to 9 Height: 24? to 36? Flowers: Blue or pink depending on soil acidity Bloom Time: Summer to Fall Did I mention that I love re-blooming plants? Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha® Reblooming Mountain Hydrangea is another of the new 2019 plants that is re-blooming. Having said that, I would buy this Hydrangea just for its beautiful double flowers that will be either blue or pink depending on the acidity of your soil (the more acidic your soil, the more blue the blooms will be). It also is quite low maintenance, not even requiring pruning. Find out more. Dwarf Butterfly Bush (Buddleia) Light: Sun Zones: 5 to 9 Height: 24? Flowers: Purple Bloom Time: Early Summer to Fall Pugster® Amethyst Butterfly bush is a dwarf plant that produces full sized flowers in purple, blue, periwinkle, pink or white. I love this new variety because you get the small size (the standard sized Buddleia tend to get a little unruly in my garden), but don’t give up any of the bloom size. As with all butterfly bushes, it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Find out more. Pin It So You Don’t Forget It!
