Here is an example of the depth of color you can have in mid June with perennials. In the foreground are the Annabelle hydrangeas, then purple phlox and in the far back purple coneflower. It takes about 3 years for these plants to mature and stand up on their own, but it is worth the wait, don’t you think?
