What Blooms in May in My Tennessee Garden?

Here is what blooms in my Tennessee garden in May 2010. There’s always a lot to see this time of year and I’m sure I’ve missed some things but here we go!

Red Achillea
Patio Garden – Garden Shed in the background
Achillea, Phlox pilosa, and Catmint Combination
Deck Garden – The irises here are done but the foliage still remains.

Nepeta faassenii (Catmint) ‘Walker’s Low’
Around the Witch hazel with oregano sprawling around.

Self-sowing Garden
