Bellflower. Often used in cottage gardens, bellflowers produce starry or bell-shape flowers in blue, violet, pink, or white.
Irises will bloom best in full sun, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. They can tolerate as little as half a day of sun, but it's not ideal. Without enough light, they won't bloom well. Bearded irises must not be shaded out by other plants; many do best in a special bed on their own.
Hot and humid conditions do not sound like a good time to garden. If you are a lover of iris, forget about the weather as there is work to be done. Late July through mid August is the best time to plant, move or divide iris. Iris is one of the most popular perennials in the garden and easy to grow.. .
