Catmint
This is one plant you will always find in my summer garden. We are become big fans as it fills in an empty bed and with a hard pruning half way through the summer blooms into early fall.
Border Blue Veronica
Another colorful plant to bloom in your garden all summer long is the Border Blue Veronica. This two foot tall plant is gorgeous when planted alongside the lower growing moonbeam coreopsis.
When we run through our neighborhood or drive through someone else's it is easy to look at a gorgeous garden and feel envy, believing we can never achieve a similar look.
