What flower/plant will bloom throughout the spring and summer?
There are several plants that will bloom through out those seasons. One that I love to recommend is Daylillies.





Daylillies come in several varieties and one of the best places to purchase them is from Oakes Daylilly which is in Tennessee. Daylillies come in Evergreen and Semi Evergreen which are good for climates that don't get a hard freeze they also come in Dormant which are great for places that do get a hard freeze.





Many of these daylillies rebloom...they will bloom in a flush and then after a while have a few weeks with no blooms, and then rebloom again. Stella D' Oro is a famous variety and is not very expensive...the bloom is a yellow trumpet like flower, but, there are many other colors as well.





Going to Oakes website will give you more information about Daylillies.





Now, Roses can also bloom and rebloom throughout the spring and summer. The trick with Roses is to keep them cut down to a 5-leaf when the blossom fades. Doing this will often cause many varieties to bloom again.





Geraniums are also wonderful plants that bloom fairly early and can keep reblooming through out the summer. In the right climates they are perinnial but, colder climates use them as annuals. What I do is, when I plant them I will cut off all the blossoms and just leave the leafs. This will make the plant put down good roots before blossoming. One bloom takes a lot of energy out of a plant and this is why so many plants will look small and stunted for the season. Keep an eye on the plant and once the bloom starts to wilt and fade simply cut it off. The more you do this the stronger the plant will get and the bigger it will become.





Marigolds and Dahlias and snapdragons follow this principal as well. I have had them turning into bushes instead of just one little flower. Again, when you plant it just cut the blossom off to the first leafs and this helps the roots to form. Once the blossoms start to fade (wilt) then just cut them off.





Remember a flowering plants life cycle is to produce leafs, the produce 'offspring' which usually starts with a flower and end up in seeds. If you don't allow it to get to seeds than many plants will bloom again. Not all plants do this but, some.
Reply:Several annuals will bloom from frost to frost. Probably the easiest to grow is the fibrous Begonia.
Reply:Moss roses, California poppies, Petunias, potentilla
Reply:It depends on what kind of climate you live in. I live in Texas, most flowers that bloom in the spring usually die out in the summer because it gets so hot down here.


Impatients and begonias do pretty good in heat, and last through most or all of the summer especially if you have shade during the hottest time of the day.
Reply:Annuals: Cosmos, Zinnia, Marigold, Petunia, Impatiens among others.


Perrenials: Tall Garden Phlox, Coneflower, Balloon Flower (Platycodon), Sedums ( sort of, they bud early but take a long time to really bloom. They look cool anyway though, especially the variegated ones ).These are all pretty tough plants with a wide range of hardiness.
Reply:You're generally looking for an annual or something like one of the "everblooming roses" -- hybrid teas are pretty good examples. Most perennials bloom once a year.





There are also plants that have quite a bit of interest in various seasons -- not in continuous flower, but interesting shapes and textures, fruits, etc: eg: http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/11...

Reply:Depends where you live and if you are talking about annuals or perrineals. The list is endless ranging from seeds to bulbs to root plants. Most annual and perrineals bloom from spring to late summer. Burpee Catalog will give you all the info you need, or go to your local nusery. Happy planting.
Reply:I would choose roses and about all perennial would do fine and annuals look nice with both.

tropical hibiscus


feed it with miracle grow and water the heck out of it and it will bloom its head off year round.


bring it inside to avoid freezing it, it can handle temperatures down to about 43 without harm.


place it in a sunny (east or south window) during winter.


good luck.
