Which perennials bloom all summer? Few bloom all summer, but many have long bloom seasons such as viola, coreopsis, Blue Buttery scabiosa, Stella de Oro daylily, and Aster x frikartii. All will bloom for about 12 weeks with regular deadheading. Mixing perennials with different bloom times will give your bed color all year long.
