What flowers in June

The perennials, bulbs and shrubs in flower in June, which of them start this month, and how the dates move with your zone.

June is the peak of the year for most gardens: roses, peonies, catmint, salvias and the first of the summer perennials.

558 of the planner's plants are in flower at some point in June in zone 5, and 293 of them start this month. Summer flowers move less with the zone: about a week earlier in zone 7, a week later in zone 3.

558 plants: 378 perennials, 26 bulbs, 18 grasses and 136 shrubs.

The dozen to start with

Mock orange

10 ft · late May to late June · until late June

A big, old-fashioned shrub covered in white, four-petalled flowers in early summer, with a scent like orange blossom that carries across the garden.
Oriental poppy

2½ ft · late May to late June · until late June

Enormous, crepe-paper flowers in scarlet, orange, pink or white, usually with a black blotch at the base, in early summer.
Yarrow

24 in · mid June to late August · starts mid June

Flat-topped flower heads sit above feathery, aromatic foliage through the heat of summer.
Gardenia

5 ft · late May to late July · until late July

Glossy, dark evergreen leaves and creamy white, waxy flowers with a rich, heavy perfume in early summer.
Butterfly weed

24 in · late June to early August · starts late June · host plant

Flat clusters of vivid orange flowers in midsummer, covered in butterflies, on a low, bushy plant with a deep taproot.
Creeping thyme

3 in · early June to mid July · starts early June

A fragrant, ground-hugging mat that is covered in tiny flowers in early summer.
Mountain laurel

8 ft · late May to late June · until late June

A native evergreen with crimped, sugar-icing buds that open into cup-shaped flowers of white, pink or red in late spring, in clusters that cover the plant.
Oakleaf hydrangea

6½ ft · mid June to early August · starts mid June

A native shrub for every season: cone-shaped white flowers that age to pink, huge oak-shaped leaves that turn wine red and purple in autumn, and peeling, cinnamon-coloured bark in winter.
Calla lily

2½ ft · mid May to mid July · until mid July

Pure white, funnel-shaped flowers of great elegance, each wrapped around a yellow spike, above glossy, arrow-shaped leaves.
Mexican feather grass

20 in · early June to late July · starts early June

The finest-textured grass: hair-thin, bright green leaves and silky, blond flower heads that ripple like water in the slightest breeze.
Ornamental onion 'Purple Sensation'

2½ ft · late May to early June · until early June

Violet globes float on bare stems in the gap between spring bulbs and summer perennials.
Purple fountain grass

4 ft · late June to mid October · starts late June

Arching, burgundy-purple leaves and long, nodding, rose-red foxtail plumes from midsummer to frost.

A bed at its best in June

The planner was given only the plants on this page that suit zone 6 and full sun, and designed this 16 × 8 ft (4.9 × 2.4 m) bed from them when the page was made. It is a bed for June on purpose, so its design check marks it down for the rest of the year: a real border would add plants for the other seasons.

A 16 × 8 ft (4.9 × 2.4 m) bed at eye level in late June: Mountain avens, Mouse-ear coreopsis 'Nana', Feather reed grass 'Avalanche', Bee balm 'Jacob Cline', Shrubby cinquefoil 'Goldfinger', Wild quinine, Blue-eyed grass, Arkansas bluestar, Pink lily leek, Dutch iris, Triteleia 'Queen Fabiola'. — A 16 × 8 ft (4.9 × 2.4 m) cottage garden in zone 6, full sun, seen from the path in late June.

From above, to scale. Each circle is one plant, as wide as the room it needs.

The plants

1 Mountain avens × 8, white
2 Mouse-ear coreopsis 'Nana' × 32, yellow
3 Feather reed grass 'Avalanche' × 3, tan
4 Bee balm 'Jacob Cline' × 4, red
5 Shrubby cinquefoil 'Goldfinger' × 1, yellow
6 Wild quinine × 3, white
7 Blue-eyed grass × 25, blue
8 Arkansas bluestar × 1, blue
9 Pink lily leek × 7, pink
10 Dutch iris × 12, purple
11 Triteleia 'Queen Fabiola' × 12, blue

Planned as a cottage garden: 68 of the 77 plants (88%), bulbs aside, stand alone or in groups of no more than five, small enough for the kinds to mingle. The scheme leans cool (blue, pink and purple) and uses yellow and red for warmth, with white and tan to calm things between them. Feather reed grass 'Avalanche' flowers longest, for 17 weeks.

The planner's own design check: 9 Excellent, 8 Good. It flags one thing to watch: Nothing on this plan is highly poisonous or an aggressive spreader.
