Best perennial plants for summer

We’ve picked out some of the best perennial plants for adding a splash of colour and a touch of something different to your outside space:

Agastache Plant

Let’s start with an absolute showstopper. The Agastache is available as seeds, plug plants, and as a potted plant. A quick and easy way to liven up your borders with something different, this is one of our best border perennial plants for creating the ‘wow’ factor! Loved by bees and butterflies, it’s a great way to look after the nation’s bees and pollinators, and it produces flowers well into the autumn.

Helenium Plant

If you don’t have any bright sunny yellows in your garden yet, this one’s all about bringing the sunshine to your patio. Helenium ‘Short n’ Sassy’ offers golden petals huddled around chocolate-coloured cones, and is available as plugs or potted plants. Providing hundreds of flowers throughout the summer (and into autumn), it also makes an excellent cut flower. A great plant for pollinators and humans alike.

Canna Plant

It’s the perfect time of year to add a touch of the tropical to your outside space, and our new range of Canna plants makes it easy. Take the ‘Cannova Bronze Orange’ for example…with dark orange petals that quietly blaze throughout the summer, this 2 litre potted perennial adds a touch of the holiday feel to any garden. We especially love this one for urban gardens – its long stems, dazzling flowers and compact size make it a good choice for those of you with less space.
