CREATe a Red, White and Blue Fourth of July garden with bursting floral fireworks

Seasonal Garden Inspiration for a Patriotic Colorful Theme

Here are a few colorful red, white and blue flowers that bloom in early summer, perfect for a Fourth of July garden. I am currently doing my weeding in hardiness zone 5,  while I visit family and friends.  Bird baths can be repurposed for beautiful container gardens. They come with their own plinth, making it easy to site somewhere in your garden for a visually pleasing focal point.  I am posting this article after the Fourth of July but why can't we plan a patriotic themed garden for any time of the year?

Birdbath filled with a spike (Dracaena), red begonias, Euphorbia, sedum, and variagated myrtle. Flags encircle the container.

White Additions and Floral Bursts in Your Garden

Perennials are great, and in the garden a dependable plant to look foward to year after year but adding annuals will give you continual blooms throughout the entire summer.
