Red, White, and Bloom: Patriotic Plants for Your Summer Garden

As the Fourth of July approaches, it’s time to infuse your garden with patriotic pride! There’s no better way to celebrate America’s independence than with a vibrant red, white, and blue display. Here are some perfect plant selections that transform your outdoor space into a sanctuary that screams “USA!”

Red

Geraniums are most commonly seen in pots and window containers across America. Their ability to prosper in warm conditions makes them the perfect summer flower, and they add a vibrant touch to any outdoor space that might need a bit of color.

These South American native flowers are popular for seasons at a time, as they’ll continue to bloom from spring into the colder months; Petunia’s trumpet shape and bright color make them perfect for bordering your garden, and you can find different patterns inside the stems that fit your garden vision.

White

Lilies are a wedding favorite, as they’re large and stunning in bouquets and arrangements. That said, they’re just as beautiful planted in soil, with a fragrance strong enough to leave your lawn smelling wonderful for the season.

Did you know there are over twenty thousand species of daisies? It remains one of the most popular plants, along with the fact that they’re complementary to almost any other flower.

Blue

While having more of a purple hue, lavender is a great blue option to plant this summer. Known for its calming effects and gentle fragrance, it can also be picked for a variety of uses, including bath essentials, and even teas and desserts. Salvia is an inedible, lavender replica that looks stunning next to an assortment of plants. It’s a great “filler” option for those who need to take up space in their garden.

While it’s important not to place lobelia in intense sunlight, these blue flowers favor summer conditions and can continue to grow for a few seasons. Its leaves will remain bright green, a beautiful contrast to its blue color.
