Tulips. Tulips (Tulipa hybrids) are an April-blooming flower that grow in a rainbow of bright colors. Ranging from 6 to 24 inches tall, tulips are ideal spring-blooming flower to grow along a perennial bed or in a cutting garden to use as fresh-cut flowers.
The August flower garden can be filled with tired-looking annuals and perennials, which have used most of their energy producing flowers earlier in the season. To keep the flower garden looking its best during late summer and early fall, plant flowers that don't bloom until late July or August. Their fresh-looking blossoms will perk up a tired-looking flower garden and most will continue blooming for the rest of the gardening season.
