Sensational Statement Plants for Summer

Statement pieces are a must for any display, regardless of the season. Statement, at its core, is essentially something that catches the eye and becomes the life and soul of the garden. Although you may love all additions to your display, these might be some of your favourites. And that’s okay!

If you’re looking for something a bit more ‘statement’ in your life but aren’t sure where to begin, then you’ve come to the right place. These sensational summer-flowering varieties will be sure to make onlookers envious throughout the season.

Achillea


Also known as Yarrows, Achillea plants are the perfect statement piece to any border display. Their traditional flat flowerheads catch the eye and their bright colours keep all eyes on them. As they’ve become more popular over the recent years, they’ve also become a must-have for any wild garden or perennial-focused border.

Varieties like Achillea Cloth of Gold and Achillea Cerise pack a punch in the summer, perfect for those looking to make a standout show throughout the season.

Rudbeckia

Rudbeckia, or Coneflowers, are one of the most beloved summer perennials on the market. Their star-shaped heads and striking shades highlight even the darkest areas of the garden, providing you with a vibrant mix of blooms that will flower year after year with minimal assistance. They’re also highly attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies, so you’ll often see them flitting from flower head to flower head once they’ve bloomed.

Any one of our Rudbeckia plants will grace your garden with an exotic essence that can’t be beaten. From Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy to Rudbeckia Golsturm, there’s an array of varieties that will tickle your taste.

Cannas

Exotic, daring, and most importantly – easy to grow. These vigorous blooms offer long-lasting colour to the garden, making them stand out when everything seems to be disappearing before autumn. Cannas can be grown in both borders and containers, and their versatility makes them an accessible addition to any summer garden display.

Pick from our range of Cannas to fill the summer garden, from Canna Tropicanna to Canna Black Knight and everything in between.

Crocosmia

Crocosmia is another statement option that provides a burst of colour through the later summer months. Their fiery shades and strapped leaves make for an attractive display, good enough to cut and showcase in your indoor bouquets. Why not try something like Crocosmia Lucifer or Crocosmia Emily McKenzie this summer?
