What type of flowers bloom for several months, instead of just days or weeks?

Additionally, what are the best types of flowers to plant in April and May?What type of flowers bloom for several months, instead of just days or weeks?
if you mean single flower lifespans rather than continual flowering of the plant, orchids, definitely. They'll keep their flower almost indefinitely as long as it's growth conditions are maintained.





if you mean continual flowering, I love morning glories, each tendril produces a new flower every morning, closes by noon and drops by nightfall. If you plant them in combination with moonflowers you'll also have a flower that blooms at dusk, blooms, closes when the bars do and falls in the early morning....creating a constant set of blooms all day and night long.

are you looking for annuals or perrennials-you have the world or your yard at your fingertips some of my constant blooming flowers that I have in my yard are annuals-petunias,alysum,snapdragons,call鈥?and marigolds for perrennials my longest blooming plants are lamina,coneflowers,asters,delphiniums,ba鈥?breath and bee balm, the annuals bloom constantly thru the summer but the perrennials bloom for a pretty long time the asters start blooming around the end of july and bloom until frost they are one of my favorites if you want a good website to look at perrennials try wayside gardens and good luck!
Inpatients are in bloom all the time, they like to be in the shade. They also have a large variety of colors, and grow well anywhere.
Annuals are the ones that bloom for a long time. Perennials come back each year but only bloom for a short time. Some good annuals to plant are found at this great website with information about each one:

I don't know where you live--plant annuals after all frost scare is gone. Here are some that bloom most of the summer--IF, you cut off the spent blooms. Marigolds, vinca, petunias, zinnias, corn flowers, helichrysm, nasty-tershums, shasta daisies,


yellow day lilies, gerbur daisies. You will need to not water from the tops, getting the blossoms wet all the time, rain you can't help but if you can don't do it on your own.


When the blossoms wilt, trim them off otherwise the energy goes to seed and not to blooms. Hope this helps some. Old lady with a green thumb.
My Hellebores have been in bloom since early January in Zone 7. I expect them to last at least another 3-4 weeks.
Petunias bloom for several months, as long as you keep them watered and give them plenty of sun.


Impatiens also bloom for several months, but you have to keep them in the shade.


Hibiscus also blooms for several months-from July through October, and they like partial sun.


Hope this helps!
Petunias, geraniums, begonias, poppies, daylilies. Plant bedding plants already started or throw some seeds in your beds that will sprout quickly.
Most annuals bloom for several months (Zinnia, Impatiens, Vinca, Geranium, Marigold and Petunia.


Some of perennials can bloom for months like Clematis, some of Bellflowers (Campanula) types, Hydrangea, Hibiscus, Rose of Sharon, Salvia, Reblooming Daylilies especially Stella De Oro, Columbine Origami, Roses, Coreopsis, Echinacea, Helleborus.





You can plant hardy perennials few weeks before last frost. Plant annuals after last frost so they don't die.
