By mid-July, many garden flowers have already lost their blooms, but there is no reason to let the garden stay bare until next spring. Choose perennials that come into bloom in mid-July, when the weather is too hot for the early spring and summer flowers. While the warmer subtropical weather of the southern United States allows gardeners to keep flowers in bloom all year, select perennials that offer the garden some late summer color.
