15 Epic Reblooming Perennials

These remarkable flowering perennials will keep your garden buzzing with color and pollinators throughout multiple seasons, creating a symphony of continuous blooms from spring’s awakening through autumn’s grand finale.

1. Reblooming Daylilies (Hemerocallis spp.)

Gorgeous reblooming daylily or Hemerocallis Stella D'Oro growing in the garden.

Don’t let the “day” in daylily fool you. While each flower may only last 24 hours, reblooming varieties are the marathon runners of the perennial world. These workhorses send up fresh flower scapes repeatedly throughout summer and into fall, creating months of non-stop color.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 9.
Flower Colors: Yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, burgundy, and bicolors.
Bloom Seasons: Late spring through fall (multiple flushes).
Height & Spread: 1 to 4 feet tall by 2 to 3 feet wide.

‘Stella de Oro’ remains the golden standard for reblooming daylilies (literally!). Still, adventurous gardeners should explore hidden gems like ‘Going Bananas’ for buttery yellow blooms, ‘Pardon Me’ for burgundy drama, or the prolific ‘EveryDaylily’ series.

2. Dianthus (Dianthus spp.)

Pink and white bright Sweet William flowers blooming in the garden.

If gardens had perfume counters, dianthus would be the star attraction. These charming plants serve up their signature clove-like fragrance alongside waves of delicate, often fringed flowers that return again and again throughout the growing season.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 9.
Flower Colors: Pink, white, red, purple, and bicolors.
Bloom Seasons: Spring through fall (with deadheading).
Height & Spread: 6 inches to 2 feet tall by 1 to 2 feet wide.

Dianthus varieties like ‘Firewitch’ (winner of the Perennial Plant of the Year award) and the reliable ‘Cheddar Pinks’ create dense, colorful carpets that bloom in spring, pause briefly for a costume change, then return for multiple summer curtain calls.

3. Hardy Geranium (Cranesbill) – The Supporting Cast

Lovely purple hardy geranium or cranesbill flowers growing in the garden.

While ‘Rozanne’ steals the spotlight (more on her later!), don’t overlook the other hardy geranium varieties that can deliver impressive repeat performances with a bit of encouragement. These reliable groundcover champions like ‘Biokovo’, ‘Ballerina’, and ‘Bloodstone’ may not be as continuous as their famous cousin, but they’re no slouches in the rebloom department.

USDA Growth Zone: 4 through 8.
Flower Colors: Pink, purple, blue, white, and magenta.
Bloom Seasons: Late spring through fall (with cutting back).
Height & Spread: 6 inches to 2 feet tall by 1 to 3 feet wide.

After their initial spring blossoms, please give them a hard cut-back. Yes, be brave and shear them down! Then watch them bounce back with fresh foliage and a second (sometimes third) flush of gorgeous blooms.

4. Reblooming Hydrangeas

Gorgeous purplish pink reblooming hydrangea flowers growing on a front porch.

Traditional hydrangeas were notorious one-hit wonders in the garden, especially in cold climates where winter would kill next year’s buds. But the game-changing, (newer) revolutionary reblooming varieties can flower on both old and new wood! They deliver multiple flushes from summer straight through fall.

USDA Growth Zone: 4 through 9 (varies by species).
Flower Colors: Pink, blue, white, purple, and green.
Bloom Seasons: Summer through fall (multiple flushes).
Height & Spread: 3 to 8 feet tall by 3 to 6 feet wide.

Numerous Hydrangea cultivars bloom multiple times. Varieties like ‘Quick Fire’ and ‘Limelight’ bloom continuously rather than in separate flushes, making them reliable showstoppers from summer to frost.

5. Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum)

Pretty yellow and white Shasta daisies flowering in the garden.

Nothing says “classic garden charm” quite like the cheerful white petals and sunny yellow centers of Shasta daisies. The beloved ‘Becky’ variety offers an impressively long initial bloom period. But newer reblooming cultivars take things to the next level with multiple waves of those iconic daisy blossoms.

USDA Growth Zone: 4 through 9.
Flower Colors: White with yellow centers (some pink varieties available).
Bloom Seasons: Summer through fall (with deadheading).
Height & Spread: 1 to 3 feet tall by 1 to 2 feet wide.

These sunshine-bright perennials are the perfect antidote to mid-summer garden doldrums. They quickly brighten borders and bouquets anywhere they grow. The key to unlocking their reblooming potential lies in diligent deadheading.

6. Pincushion Flower (Scabiosa columbaria)

Purple scabiosa columbaria pink mist flowers growing in the garden.

Meet the marathon champions of the flower world! ‘Butterfly Blue’ and ‘Pink Mist’ pincushion flowers are two of the best cultivars for multiple blooms. It’s the gift that keeps on giving from late spring until the first hard frost shuts down the show. These charming, almost whimsical blooms resemble tiny pincushions (hence their name) and are beloved by butterflies and gardeners alike.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 8.
Flower Colors: Blue, pink, white, and lavender.
Bloom Seasons: Late spring through fall (continuous).
Height & Spread: 12 to 18 inches tall by 12 to 15 inches wide.

What makes them truly epic is their incredibly low-maintenance nature. These beauties will continue to produce blooms whether you pamper (and prune) them or not. They’re the reliable friends of the perennial world. And they are always there when you need a splash of gentle color.

7. Catmint (Nepeta spp.)

Purple blooming catmint with lush green leaves growing in the garden.

Catmint is the tough-as-nails perennial that laughs in the face of drought, poor soil, and neglect while still delivering spectacular spikes of lavender-blue flowers for months on end. This Mediterranean native produces billowy clouds of aromatic foliage, topped with numerous flower spikes that bees (and cats) adore.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 8.
Flower Colors: Lavender-blue, purple, white, and pink.
Bloom Seasons: Late spring through fall (with shearing).
Height & Spread: 1 to 3 feet tall by 1 to 3 feet wide.

The beauty of catmint lies in its generous nature. After that first magnificent flush of blooms, a hard shearing triggers a robust rebloom that often surpasses the original show.

8. Reblooming Irises

White and purple reblooming German hemstitched iris with fancy ruffled petals.

Traditional bearded irises have always been the aristocrats of the spring garden, but reblooming varieties have earned their place as garden royalty for the entire growing season. These remarkable “remontant” cultivars break all the old iris rules by producing not just their spectacular spring show, but returning with equally impressive late summer or fall performances.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 9.
Flower Colors: White, yellow, blue, purple, pink, and bicolors.
Bloom Seasons: Spring and late summer to fall.
Height & Spread: Roughly 2 to 4 feet tall by 1 to 2 feet wide.

Reblooming iris Varieties like the pristine white ‘Immortality’ or the golden ‘Harvest of Memories’ prove that you really can have your iris and bloom it twice (or even three times!). The secret to encouraging these encore performances lies in good post-bloom care. Keep them well-fed and consistently watered after that first spring bloom.

9. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

Lovely lavender plants growing in a backyard garden alongside a fence.

Lavender brings the essence of Mediterranean hillsides to your garden, serving up multiple seasons of fragrant, bee-loved blooms. English lavenders, such as ‘Hidcote’ and ‘Munstead’, are the traditional favorites, producing the iconic summer flush of purple spikes that’s perfect for drying and crafting.

USDA Growth Zone: 5 through 9.
Flower Colors: Purple, lavender, blue, pink, and white.
Bloom Seasons: Summer with a second flush (if deadheaded).
Height & Spread: 1 to 3 feet tall by 2 to 4 feet wide.

Here’s the insider secret for lavender. Immediately deadhead those spent flower stalks after the first bloom, and many varieties will surprise you with a lighter but equally fragrant second flush. Some of the newer Lavandin hybrids like ‘Phenomenal’ push the boundaries even further with extended or repeated blooming periods.

10. Perennial Salvia (Salvia nemorosa)

Deep purple forest sage or Salvia Nemorosa flowers growing in the grassy meadow.

Perennial salvias are the vertical exclamation points your garden has been waiting for! These sophisticated plants send up architectural spires of blue, purple, pink, or white flowers that command attention from across the yard. They’re sophisticated beauties that deliver their first major performance in late spring or early summer, creating stunning textural contrast with their upright flower spikes.

USDA Growth Zone: 4 through 8.
Flower Colors: Blue, purple, pink, white, and red.
Bloom Seasons: Late spring through fall (with deadheading).
Height & Spread: 1 to 3 feet tall by 1 to 2 feet wide.

The real magic happens after you deadhead those spent spires – cut them back to just above a set of leaves, and these generous plants will reward you with fresh waves of blooms throughout the summer. Varieties like the deep purple ‘May Night’, striking ‘Caradonna’, or the cheerful ‘Pink Profusion’ prove that reblooming perennials can be both elegant and hardworking garden performers.

11. ‘Rozanne’ Geranium – The Superstar

Geranium Rozanne perennial with pinkish purple flowers growing in the garden.

If there were an MVP award for reblooming perennials, ‘Rozanne’ would win it hands down, year after year. This particularly hardy geranium has achieved legendary status among gardeners, and for good reason. It produces its stunning blue-purple flowers with white centers almost continuously from late spring until frost shuts down the party.

USDA Growth Zone: 4 through 8.
Flower Colors: Blue-purple with white centers.
Bloom Seasons: Late spring through fall (continuous).
Height & Spread: 12 to 20 inches tall by 2 feet wide.

Unlike plants that bloom in distinct waves, ‘Rozanne’ is more like a floral fountain that never stops. It creates a constant carpet of color that works beautifully as ground cover, in containers, or as a trailing plant over walls. The best part? It’s almost embarrassingly low-maintenance. While a light mid-summer shearing can rejuvenate the foliage and encourage an even stronger late-season finale, this garden superstar runs on autopilot while delivering months of knockout performance.

12. Coreopsis (Tickseed)

Red and yellow coreopsis or tickseed flower in the garden.

Coreopsis brings pure sunshine to the garden with masses of cheerful, daisy-like flowers that seem to glow from within. These native wildflowers have been bred (and refined) into garden superstars that bloom from early summer straight through fall with remarkable consistency.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 9.
Flower Colors: Yellow, orange, pink, red, and bicolors.
Bloom Seasons: Early summer through fall (continuous with deadheading).
Height & Spread: Roughly 6 inches to 3 feet tall by 1 to 2 feet wide.

What makes coreopsis truly epic is their drought tolerance combined with their prolific flowering – they’re the reliable friends who show up to every garden party looking great and staying late.

13. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

Lovely pastel colored achillea millefolium or yarrow flowers in full bloom.

Yarrow proves that tough can be beautiful with its distinctive, flat-topped flower clusters and delicate, fern-like foliage, which adds textural interest even when the plant isn’t blooming. These drought-tolerant warriors are also built for challenging conditions. They’re ideal for low-maintenance gardens or challenging spots where other perennials may struggle to thrive.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 9.
Flower Colors: Yellow, white, pink, red, orange, and purple.
Bloom Seasons: Summer through fall (with cutting back).
Height & Spread: 1 to 4 feet tall by 1 to 3 feet wide.

Modern cultivars like the soft yellow ‘Moonshine’, vibrant ‘Paprika’, or the mixed-color ‘Summer Pastels’ offer significantly improved flower power over their wild cousins.

14. Gaillardia (Blanket Flower)

Lovely blanket flowers or gaillardia x grandiflora growing in the garden.

Gaillardia brings the heat with vibrant, daisy-like flowers in fiery, red-hot shades of orange, red, and yellow that seem custom-designed for hot, sunny gardens. These prairie natives laugh at drought, poor soil, and blazing sun while producing their cheerful blooms from early summer until frost calls time on the growing season.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 10.
Flower Colors: Red, orange, yellow, and bicolors.
Bloom Seasons: Early summer through fall (continuous).
Height & Spread: Roughly 6 inches to 3 feet tall by 1 to 2 feet wide.

Modern compact varieties like ‘Arizona Sun’, ‘Goblin’, and the ‘Mesa’ series have extended bloom time and superb garden performance. They create neat, well-behaved clumps that don’t get as floppy as earlier cultivars.

15. Coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea)

Purple or pink coneflower echinacea purpurea magnus in garden.

Coneflowers have evolved far beyond their purple prairie origins! They’re now among some of the most reliable and colorful reblooming perennials in the modern garden. While the classic purple species offers a respectably long bloom season, modern cultivars have been bred for extended flowering and superior rebloom capabilities, keeping the show going well into fall.

USDA Growth Zone: 3 through 9.
Flower Colors: Purple, pink, white, orange, yellow, and red.
Bloom Seasons: Summer through fall (with deadheading).
Height & Spread: 1 to 4 feet tall by 1 to 2 feet wide.

Beyond their sensational visual appeal, coneflowers are absolute magnets for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. They’re essential players in wildlife-friendly gardens. The bonus? Their sturdy seed heads provide winter interest and bird food if you leave some stems standing after the growing season ends.

What Are Reblooming Perennials?

Gorgeous purple Salvia Nemorosa flowers growing in a grassy meadow.

Reblooming perennials are flowering plants that produce multiple waves of blooms throughout a single growing season, rather than flowering just once.

These garden superstars deliver continuous color from spring through fall by either blooming repeatedly in distinct flushes or flowering continuously for months.

Unlike single-blooming perennials that have one spectacular show, reblooming varieties keep your garden vibrant all season long with proper deadheading and care.

How To Keep Perennials Blooming Longer

Here are our top tips to help your perennials bloom more than once throughout the year.

Master the Art of Deadheading

Different plants respond to different deadheading techniques. Some need just the spent flower removed, others benefit from cutting back to the next set of leaves, and some require more aggressive shearing.

Feed Your Champions

Reblooming perennials work harder than single-flush varieties, so they need more fuel. A balanced organic fertilizer applied in spring and mid-summer helps them maintain peak performance.

Water Wisely

While many of these plants are drought-tolerant once established, consistent moisture during blooming periods encourages the strongest rebloom performance.

Timing is Everything

Learn each perennial flower’s rhythm. Some rebloom quickly after deadheading. But others require several weeks to prepare for their encore performance.
