They look amazing year-round and come in a billion colours. Cardinal flower is another great native plant that blooms in late July – August, and the Hummingbirds LOVE them.

Japanese anemones–yes! but are they late season or mid-? ours are blooming now in south-central WI, and we’ve had such a pleasant summer compared to recently I’m tempted to say the anemones bloom mid-season. The chelone haven’t flowered yet.
Toad lilies are another late bloomer that are pretty cool.

My hydrangea did not bloom this year for some reason. We have had an exceptionally hot summer though so it has been a strange gardening year all around for us since our climate here in the Pacific Northwest is usually pretty mild. Best wishes with your perennials!

After they are done blooming, the petals fall off and the inside will be left to eventually open up to what looks like a pulled cotton ball (bad description for a very pretty thing). And plant some black eyed susans next to them. The colour of the anemone stamens is the same as the black eyed susans’ petals. Both seem to do well in a range of conditions from shady to very sunny.

If I had a yard, I would stock up now.
