Easy Red, White, and Blue Garden Ideas

As summer arrives, so do some of our favorite seasonal celebrations. Flag Day, Fourth of July parties, backyard barbecues, and family get togethers all provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy time outdoors and appreciate the whole the season. How often do we hear, “can we go outside?” while all our children are home from school, so that also means you’re also spending more time outdoors and might need some sparkle on your backyard. One simple way to bring charm to your outdoor space is by creating a red, white, and blue garden. Whether you have a large backyard, a small flower bed, or a few patio containers, patriotic inspired blooms can add color and beauty benefits all summer long.

The easiest way to create a patriotic garden is by choosing flowers in classic red, white, and blue tones.

Here are some options that don’t necessarily scream “American Flag” but when together are patriotic.

Red Flowers

• Red Salvia

• Zinnias

• Geraniums

• Bee Balm

White Flowers

• Shasta Daisies

• White Petunias

• Alyssum

• White Cosmos

Blue Flowers

Red, white, and blue flowers can also enhance summer entertaining.

Consider using fresh flowers for:

Simple floral arrangements can help create a warm and inviting atmosphere without feeling overly decorated. Or even placing Forget-Me-Not seed packets on each place setting. Simple touches like that are what really bring the pieces together in your backyard.

Creating a red, white, and blue garden is a simple way to celebrate Flag Day, summer gatherings, and the beauty of the season. Whether you're planting a full flower bed, or adding a few containers to your porch, into your place, every flower helps create a more colorful and inviting outdoor space.

This summer, let your garden bloom with vibrant colors, joyful gatherings, and moments worth remembering. Never forget that gardens help us celebrate life's special moments and create lasting memories with the people we love.
