After getting so many great responses yesterday when I asked about perennials in full flower right now, can anyone tell me which flowering shrubs they have that are in full flower right now please?

Ideally white, pink, blue or purple flowering, as those are the colours I have in my garden. No yellow, orange or red for me Smile

My weigela is just finishing, ceanothus the same. Hydrangeas, buddleia, fuschia, abelia yet to flower.

On the yellow front, my neighbour's hypericum is in full flower.

My Deutzia and Philadelphus are flowering. A really good plant for long lasting white flowers and scent is a perennial Stock. You might only get one on line.
I have one that’s about 6 years old and around 3 ft high. It’s similar to an erysimum, but silvery leaved and white flowered. It’s easy to grow from seed, which I do so that I’ve got a younger one in case the parent plant dies.

Thanks - I have perennial stocks and i love them. I've split them over the years too, so I have quite a few. I've lost a deutzia that I bought only about a month ago when it was in full flower. It probably didn't get enough water during the rare dry times.

A philadelphus is now on my list!

Roses, lots of roses, thorny bastards.

Hebes just starting, some are white and pink

Pyracantha (white flower) but thorny.

Rock rose (mines white but think they do pink)

One pink flowered shrub I think is an Abelia (photo attached) though you said yours wasnt out yet.

Another pink flowered shrub I think is a Spiraea (photo attached)

Same as you hydrangeas and fuchsias just about to flower.

Yes lavatera, buddleias, roses, honeysuckles (i love them) some salvias with small red flowers. I've got a hebe that doesn't want to be in our garden! One or two hydrangeas, just coming into flower a bit early I think. Loads of St John's Wort.

My dad's white potentilla is going great guns just now.

the hydrangea is just starting.

My Spirea (Sparkling Champagne) has been in flower for a couple of weeks now, pretty pink and white flowers. Lots of flowers, but a bit of a pain to dead head!

Philadelphus and roses looking lovely!
