Early June Bloomers- 2009

As I publish this post I wonder what time these perennials will bloom next year. With the cool spring we've had I believe everything is blooming a bit later. What are your thoughts?


Will my neighbors ever get to enjoy the peonies blooming outside? I love to cut them and enjoy them inside.



A rose is a rose... well, just because I'm not sure of the name of this dark pink shrub rose.


Ernest Markham Clematis- I made the mistake of not cutting this clematis back this Spring due to a tiny little bird nest I found in it. Now I've got an overgrown clematis! Hopefully the awesome flower show will be worth it!

La Bourboule Pinks (Dianthus) Did you know pinks get their name not because they are pink but because of the jagged edge of the flower looks as though it's been cut with a pinking sheers!?


Blue dogbane is an excellent choice for a shrubby, native perennial. It will thrive in full to partial sun, growing up to 3 feet tall. It blooms beautiful light blue flower heads in early summer. It is hardy to Zone 3.
