I want some flowers that will bloom over and over again.?

I have tulips and other perennials and since they only bloom once a yr and thats it, I want some flowers to plant in my flower bed that will bloom several times in one spring and summer. If they happen to die I want something that will come back again. Any suggestions? I'm not the greatest gardener but I do want a flowerbed full of blooms and pretty flowers.

Daylillies, cone flowers, Daisy's, butterfly weed, asters, cornflowers. There are so many great flowers. You really want perennials since you want something that comes back every season. I don't know what your planting zone is, but I do know that you can grow things that I can't in a zone 5. Go to a local nursery and look around, ask questions because that is why the people are there, and then if they are too expensive, go to a farmers market or a farm store and buy small plants. Also notice if the flower requires full sun or full shade. Don't get discouraged if a perennial doesn't get huge the first year. That's what annuals do. Rule of thumb for periennials; first year they sleep (don't grow a whole lot) second year they creep and third year they leap. They are well worth the wait because they are faithful to come back and beautify your yard. Good luck
Reply:You have a lot of choices! Several things I can think of, Knock out Roses - you can't kill em. They are the basic of beginner roses and will reward you with blooms all year long. Knock out roses are bred specifically for us folks in the hot south. Another choice - reblooming azealas like "Autumn Embers"


Dianthus,snapdragons are wonderful and will bloom all year. Although specified as an annual, mine come back every year. In fact, many plants that are marked as annuals will come back every year in the south. Marigolds will work for your purpose, Vinca or creeping myrtle, impatients, verbena, phlox....If I think of more I'll come back and add, but those are the ones that would do well in your area.
Reply:I'm in Texas, zone 7. The others gave you some great plants to check out. Call your County Extension Agent for your local area. They are very knowledgeable and provide services free of charge - your tax dollars pay their salary! They will even come out to your home, test your soil, and direct you as to any problems you are having with your soil, grass, plants, trees, etc. They can also suggest perinneal blooming plants for your area. Dutch Gardens is a great source for wonderful plants that are guaranteed.
