It’s always sad when one of your favorite plants stops blooming. With most plants we only get a brief window to enjoy the beauty of their flowers!
Here are 2 of my favorite long blooming flowers; they flower several times throughout the year. It’s great knowing that even when my quick-bloomers lose their flowers, I always have these to provide color to the yard!
