If you live in Zone 8, you should know it has a fairly long growing season, with a frost-free period lasting from early April until late October. Zone 8 states include western Washington and Oregon, middle of Texas, southern Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, eastern North Carolina, and northern Louisiana and Florida. Asters, astilbe, bee balm, cannas, coneflowers, crocus, daffodils, dahlias, glads, hibiscus, hostas, hyacinths, irises, jasmine, lilies, peonies, phlox, salvia, sedum, succulents, tulips, and yarrow are among the Zone 8 plants we recommend.

Don't forget that your Zone 8 garden probably has several microclimates within it, each of which is best suited for different plant types and varieties. Take some time to determine which microclimates your yard or garden may have, whether it's an open area of your backyard that's always in direct sunlight, a shaded spot beneath a big tree, a rock-covered hill, or a marshland. With a little bit of practice, choosing the best plants for Zone 8 that will also thrive in your garden's specific microclimates will soon become second nature.

Spring-Planted Bulbs for Zone 8

Spring-planted bulbs that bloom during the summer can thrive in most hardiness zones. What's more, they produce some of the most vibrant colours of the year. Varieties include dahlias, lilies, gladiolus, caladium, cannas, and begonias. In cooler regions, try planting summer bulbs outdoors in pots before transferring them—once the soil is warm enough—to your garden bed or border. Most can go in the ground once the possibility of frost has passed.
