Which plants can add colour and interest during summer?

Though summer is usually a time when your garden is full of green, flourishing plants, it can be difficult to source plants that specifically bloom during summer...a lot of plants will bloom during spring and will not last later into the year.

That being said, here's some plant inspiration to help create the perfect summer garden:

1. Butterfly Bush
2. Potentilla
3. Lavender
4. Hebe 'Red Edge'
5. Hypericum Golden Beacon
6. Russian Sage Blue Spire
