My Early Summer Garden
It has been really hot and dry here in Colorado this year. I'm talking humidity levels in the single digits and temperatures in the mid to high 90's. Luckily, I take our summer weather into consideration when I add new plants to my gardens and use drought tolerant plants as much as I can. ing feature
Penstemons are one of my favorites! I love their small trumpet shaped flowers, as do the bees and butterflies.
My red knockout roses that I planted last year poke out among the purple flowers.
Check out how tall my lilies are this year!
The Coreopsis is also spreading well and the dainty yellow flowers help to break up the purple, reds and oranges.

@Douglas Hunt I think it's because it's not a real showy flower, which is exactly why I love it :-) It has a calming affect on me as I watching it softly sway in the breeze!

Just glorious, Kathe ~ especially the Penstemon!
