I have many favorite summer flowers roses, dahlias, cosmos, petunias and these zonal geraniums. These geraniums are super-stars in the garden. This variety of geranium has thicker stalks and produces heads the size of a large hydrangea (another favorite.. that doesn't grow so good around here.. although I've seen a few). The blooms stay on for a long time and if you feed them well.. when one head dies.. another will be blooming out. They go all summer long until the frost.
They are great in pots.. but fabulous in garden beds as well. And, they come in pink, pink, pink and more PINK! What is a favorite summer flower.. or a garden super-star you are looking forward to this summer?

We plant every year by some of our Laurels, red impatients. I enjoy them so much because they are visual from our kitchen table. They are in the perfect spot for them to grow well. I have the sort of house that warrants more of the fallish colors. Pinks and purples do not look as good. I miss those colors. Love them. I love geraniums as well. They are some of my favorites. We had one in a pot inside the house one year, that lasted for quite sometime. Love your flower posts. Bye Tiffany..
I have so many favorites. We dont get summer/spring flowers here in the tropics....just too hot for them.
I enjoy flowers in the fall and winter. I plant impatiens, petunias, marigolds, pansies, etc. in the winter.
I LOVE tulips, daffodils, and, hydrangeas. This is one reason I love to visit Utah in the spring and summer.. just to see the bulb flowers.
I always think of you when I see geraniums, especially pink ones. Did you know they are a perrienial here? I have the most ginormoust gerranium bush I have ever seen! But you reminded me, I need to go dead head it. I am really missing my bleeding heart plant, I haven't seen them around here but I would like to get a hydrangea.
Tiffany that is so pretty and such gorgeous colours

Hmmm, my favorite summer flower is a blue hydrangea. We don't have them here, but they're all over Cape Cod. Your flowers look beautiful. Love the pinks!

Mmmmm, right now I think my favourite is jasmine. Only because we have a new one and I'm constantly checking on it!!
