Coreopsis, Shasta Daisies, Lupine - June Blooms - 2009

Early Sunrise Coreopsis (Tickseed)

Easy to grow perennial grows 1 - 2' high and does well in the full sunshine. Zones 4 - 10.
They grew originally in Southern United States and were introduced into Europe in 1826. They bloom in early summer. They  propagate from seed or by division every two to four years in the spring.


Shasta Daisies (Chrysanthemum Maximum)


These flowers originated in the Pyranees. 
They do well in full sun and are extremely sturdy.
They require hardly any attention and never fail to please.  They grow about 3' high and bloom during the summer months. Good for cut flowers and borders. 





Lupine (Lupinus) 'Gallery White'

I have tried to plant Lupines in the past but seldom have any success. This year I purchased three very small plants and planted them in the front garden. I am hoping that the constant sun will improve the longevity of these Lupines. 
They bloom in late spring to early summer in full sun. Grow 18-20" tall in
 USDA Zones 4 - 10.
They attract hummingbirds.
