Summer gardens rarely follow the script. Spring bulbs fade, early perennials take a break, and suddenly a flower bed that looked spectacular in May starts showing awkward patches of bare soil. The good news is that several fast-growing flowers can step in and restore color before summer slips away.
Quick-growing flowers do more than hide empty spots. They attract pollinators, soften the look of fading plants, and keep containers, borders, and raised beds looking lively through the hottest weeks of the season. With the right choices, even a last-minute planting can transform a tired corner into one of the brightest parts of the garden.
