Part of 10 Perennial to extend summer's colors If the dog days of summer have gotten the best of your garden blooms, there’s still time to create a fetching landscape. Sure, you could head to the local garden center for mums, but if you want something less predictable, check out these no-fuss perennials that bloom with abandon — often up to frost. You'll get color now, plus repeat performances for many autumns to come. traditional landscape Toad lily, Photo by Shotaku Add to ideabook Toad Lily Tricyrtus hirta Although petite (about the size of a walnut), the orchid-like blooms of this Asian beauty are plentiful, nestled atop the plant’s graceful stems.

I had this lovely baby in my yard in Kentucky. She's a beauty and she was easy to grow. I planted a bunch of them in a circle in a part of the yard that needed 'low' flowers. They performed beautifully. I may see if I can grow her again when I have my own yard again.
