Bedding perennials - the floral backbone in the sunny garden

In the creative garden design, it is up to the bed perennials to give the appearance floral shine. No garden style can do without the long-lasting flower beauties. Even in the spartan Japanese garden, solitary perennials play an important role. The following types and varieties have stood out for the sunny location:

Bedding perennials for sunny locations botanical name heyday flower color growth height
Sun Bride “Rush Topaz” Helenium Hybrid July to September amber ray flowers with brown eye 130 to 160 cm
Daylily 'Chicago Apache' Hemerocallis hybrid July to September velvety blood red, yellow throat, wavy flower edges 60 to 80 cm
Large-flowered concard flower "Burgundy" Gaillardia x grandiflora July to September deep red ray florets with domed center 60 to 80 cm
daisy Leucanthemum x superbum July to September white flowers with a yellow eye 80 to 100 cm
Scabious "Perfecta Alba" Scabiosa caucasica July to September white plate flowers 60 to 80 cm

So that the blossom spectacle continues seamlessly in autumn, the focus is on the lovely genus of asters. A shining example is the autumn aster (Aster novi-belgii 'Carmine Dome'), which, in a sunny location, comes into its own with crimson, semi-double flowers from September.
