Columbine
Columbine is a hardy plant that is easy to grow in most climates, and it’s known for its vibrant blooms. It grows best in full sun or partial shade, so you can use this perennial as an understory plant in your lawn. Columbine can tolerate most soil types and thrives with little care or maintenance beyond regular watering. This flower will bloom throughout spring and summer, producing showy red-and-white flowers with green leaves on tall stems above the foliage of other plants in your yard.
Water Hemlock
- Water hemlock is a perennial plant. It grows to about 2 feet tall and has the appearance of small red-headed flowers, which bloom late in the summer.
- If you’re interested in attracting bees and butterflies, this would be a good choice for you! It also attracts birds, so you can have something to look at while sitting on your porch or patio reading a book.
- Be careful when handling this plant though—it’s poisonous!
Harebell
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance perennial that has a long season of blooms and requires little care, harebell is the way to go. Harebells are small perennial plants with lovely blue, white or purple flowers. They grow best in full sun and bloom from May to August. Each flower cluster has several bell-shaped blossoms that have sweet scents similar to honeysuckle and violets. The plants grow up to 8 inches tall but usually remain smaller than that unless they receive lots of water or fertilizer throughout the growing season (which isn’t necessary).
Chamomile
Chamomile is a perennial plant that produces flowers with white petals. The plants are often found in meadows and lawns, as they tend to grow quickly and abundantly. The flowers produce small, round fruits that contain seeds. These seeds can be used for medicinal purposes or as an ingredient in herbal products such as tea or shampoo. Chamomile is also known as German chamomile, garden chamomile or scented mayweed because it’s so fragrant when you smell it—and even if you don’t want to smell it all the time, we’ll bet you’ll love having this lovely perennial in your yard!
