The 5 Best Plants for Cool Climates

The white petals of each flower are accented with a gorgeous purple tint with orange-yellow showing deep in the middle where the petals all meet. While the bloom time is short, these flowers put on a tremendous display. They grow well in partial shade or sun and bloom from the beginning of summer to around midsummer.

I’ve always liked geraniums, but have never seen a geranium with flowers like this plant has. Deep purple in the very center and becoming gradually lighter towards the tip of each petal, the flowers appear to have more of a cup shape than other types of geraniums. They bloom from late spring all the way into the end of fall and will do well in partial shade or sun.

This flower is related to plants in the iris family and produces orchid-like flowers. The larger 3 petals have minute petals of the same color in between them. While the outer portions of the petals are a bright pink, the inside of each flower has a white background with deep pinkish purple speckles. These plants grow best in full sunshine and they bloom all summer long.

Asclepias come in colors such as; yellow, orange, pink, cream, dark red, and purple. These cool weather loving plants do well in partial shade or full sun and bloom all summer long. They are an excellent bunch of plants to use for a border and the butterflies adore them!

The multiple layers of petals produced atop each lily stalk are a gorgeous hue of what can be described only as a cotton candy pink color. They are pollen free, so people with severe allergies can still pick a glorious bouquet of these special lilies and enjoy them indoors. These lilies bloom in the early part of summer and may be planted in partial shade or full sun.
