9 Flowers Blooming Right Now (And Into Fall!) — Seattle’s Favorite Garden Store Since 1924 – Swansons Nursery

Despite the common perception that summer = an abundance of flowers, late August can actually be a somewhat quiet time in the garden. Many of the plants that are in bloom in late spring and early summer have tapered off, and colorful fall foliage seems a long way off. 

What’s needed is a little late-summer color to spruce up the garden, and even better if the plants continue to bloom well into fall. Luckily, there are plenty of flowers that are in their prime right now and that will keep on blooming into fall or even until frost!

Here are 9 of our favorite late-summer flowers for the Pacific Northwest (Editor’s Note: Plant availability may vary. Please ask us for substitutions and alternatives).
