The best thing to do is choose quick and easy growing flowers. You want them now, with their bright colors bringing that special beauty that only flowers can add.

Few plants can brighten a tired corner like the tough perennials pictured here. All thrive in summer heat and bloom nearly nonstop into fall if you keep the spent flowers picked.
Starting in June, you’ll find the plants at nurseries, usually in 1-gallon cans (though the best selection of dahlias is available in spring, when you can plant them from tubers).
The small (8- by 10-foot) planting pictured here, in Sunset’s test garden, incorporates some of our favorite perennials.
