I also wanted plants that won’t take forever to grow, so I started searching for ones that bloom quickly. Luckily, I discovered some amazing fast-growing perennials that I’m gladly going to share with you today!
These perennials started growing in my garden in no time! That year I got the most beautiful landscape that I always dreamed of. What I like the most about them is that they are very easy to grow, requiring minimal effort!
If you also want to quickly add a splash of color to your garden, these nine perennials are ideal for you! You’re going to love the ‘wow’ effect that these stunning flowers bring to your garden.
#1 Black-Eyed Susan Brings Beneficial Pollinators To Your Garden
Black-eyed Susans are charming perennial plants with showy, yellow flowers! Their sweet petals can attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees. By attracting beneficial pollinators, these golden-yellow flowers will help the rest of your plants thrive!
These flowers will grow best in full sun, at least six to eight hours a day. If you spot drooping leaves, then it’s time to water your rudbeckia! It would be best to water them once a week.
#2 If You Love Cottage Vibes, You Should Consider Daylily
Daylilies are truly special plants. With their white, yellow, orange, pink, and purple trumpet-shaped flowers, you can transform your garden into a cottage paradise!
These plants need sun to thrive and that’s why you should choose the sunniest place for them in your garden! You’ll need to water them weekly!
#3 Coneflower Has So Much More To Offer Than Just A Pretty Face
Coneflowers are popular plants that win the hearts of gardeners all over the world! Trust me, their breathtaking flowers are going to leave you amazed every time you walk by them!
Well, besides making your garden the prettiest, these flowers are well-known for their ability to boost your health. Coneflowers are used in tea and, because of their healthy leaves, they can reduce cold symptoms and help with coughs!
Place your coneflowers in a sunny area with seven to eight hours of sun! The best watering tip you can use is to water them when the soil feels dry.
#4 Make Your Garden Stand Out With The Striking Red Flowers Of Red Hibiscus
If you love red colors, then these perennials are made for you! I have one great idea that you’re going to love.
You can try pairing hibiscus with some of these plants from today’s list, such as lavender, coneflowers, daylilies, or catmint! Imagine how beautifully these perennials will thrive when planted together!
Where should you place red hibiscus? It’s best to plant these flowers in a place with at least eight hours of sunlight. Red hibiscus enjoys moist soil, so it would be best to water them regularly and keep it that way! I water mine daily because I plant them in containers.
#5 You Won’t Be The Only One Fascinated By Catmint, Your Cats Will Love It Too
Catmint is an herb that has fuzzy gray-green leaves and can surprise you with blue flowers from summer to autumn! This herb produces a lemony-minty aroma that you’re going to love.
But you’re not the only one who will enjoy the catmint’s amazing scent! If you have cats, you’ll notice how these silly animals roll over this perennial in your garden. Catmint has a euphoric effect on cats! That’s why your cats are going to love this adorable perennial plant!
Your lovely catmint can be tricky when it comes to the area where it should be placed. You’ll need to find a place where they will get sun, but also a little bit of afternoon shade.
Even though catmint is a drought-tolerant plant, you should water it once a week, especially if you live in tropical climates!
#6 Add A Touch Of Adorable Pink Color With Agastache’s Special Variety
If you don’t have a pink flower in the garden, then it’s time to add an agastache pink pearl to your collection! This perennial has a unique appearance, with fragrant pink blooms, which will provide a beautiful landscape year-round.
Your beautiful agastach thrives best in full sun. Agastach can be the perfect plant for you if you’re a busy gardener! You’ll need to water your agastache from time to time, and that’s how the watering schedule looks like for this plant.
#7 Coreopsis’ Gorgeous Yellow Flowers Will Brighten Your Backyard
Coreopsis’s yellow, daisy-like flowers are great for attracting pollinators to your garden when summer arrives! The cute friendship between coreopsis and pollinators can help your other plants thrive! Now that’s a win-win situation for you.
This lovely flower needs full sun to flourish! Keep your Coreopsis well-watered (every few days), and once established, you can reduce watering.
#8 Sedum’s Star-Shaped Flowers Are Perfect For Making Borders Prettier
If you are looking for a ground cover or to border your garden, then you should try growing sedum. Its flawless green foliage with white, yellow, bronze, and pink flowers can grow tall enough to make it a perfect candidate for borders.
Whether your garden receives full or partial sun, you don’t have to worry about it when it comes to sedum! Sedum can settle in both of these places. You can water your sedum once a week.
#9 Kniphofia’s Exotic-Looking Flowers Will Bring Plenty Of Drama To Your Yard
Last but not least is kniphofia! Its orange, red, and yellow flowers are what make it a spectacular garden plant.
Kniphofia thrives best in full sun! When newly planted, make sure to water it a few times a week, but once it gets established you can slowly reduce it.
Choosing which one to grow among these beautiful plants can be a pretty hard decision. That’s why I have some fun questions for you! Do you already have a favorite plant from today’s list? Mine are definitely daylilies (shh, don’t tell anyone)!
Whichever perennial you decide to grow will beautifully fit your garden. All you need to do is find a spot for these gorgeous plants and start growing them!
