Lavandula angustifolia

Phlox paniculata

Hosta lancifolia

Leucanthemum

Hosta Hostas are perfect hardy perennial flowers for any shade garden.

1

Shasta Daisies  Full sun preferred.  They're wonderful as a cutting flower, and for filling in bare spots in your garden.

2

Coreopsis Full sun preferred.  They are not really a cutting flower, and it attracts butterflies.

3

Black Eyed Susan Full sun preferred. All they need, once established, is water, and the blooms are abundant.

4

Clematis Full to partial sun. It takes a year or so to become established. This purple beauty is GALORE.

5

Day Lilies Full to partial shade. They die down in the fall for easy clean-up. Their blooming time is short, but the blooms are plentiful and vivid.

6

Peony Full to partial sun. They die down in the fall and appear again in late spring. Peonies require no care at all, with the exception of staking.

7

Dianthus At least 6 hours of sun. Dianthus spreads and fills in nicely. If it gets too thick, it’s very easy to dig up and move.

8

Lavender Full sun, dry conditions. No perennial flower garden would be complete without lavender.

9

Phlox Full to partial sun. Garden phlox has a tendency to get mildewy at the root, so don't overwater.

10

These perennials are tried and true, all-American favorites that anyone can grow. A little water, a little sun, and a prayer or two is all you need.
