Perennial Bulbs That Bloom All Summer

Who doesn't love a perennial that blooms all summer? Gardening enthusiasts often seek vibrant blooms that last throughout the summer to create a continuous splash of color in their landscapes. While many bulbs are known for their spectacular spring displays, several perennial varieties can keep gardens lively all summer. Some perennial bulbs offer extended blooming periods, bringing beauty and joy to your garden for months.

1. Dahlia (Dahlia spp.)

Dahlias are renowned for their dazzling array of colors and forms. These tuberous perennials bloom in late spring or early summer and continue until the first frost. Dahlias thrive in sunny locations with well-drained soil and benefit from regular deadheading to promote continuous flowering. They are particularly cherished for their large, dramatic blooms that come in a variety of shapes, including pom-pom, cactus, and dinner-plate forms.
