Trees for the Northeast that Flower in Late Summer

Aug 28, 2026 | Postcards From Plants

The postcard on The Garden Lady on August 29th is from shrubs and trees that flower in late summer and early fall in the Northeast USA.   

The stamp on the postcard is a photo of the crape myrtle flower. Lagerstroemia indica, more commonly known as crape myrtle, can be planted in Zones 6 and warmer. If you live in the Northeast, be sure to look for varieties that are known for winter hardiness in a Zone 6. 

Panicle hydrangeas are favorite plants for late summer into fall flowers. There are many varieties that grow short, medium and tall, so find the Hydrangea paniculata that suits your space. The one pictured is a tree-form ‘Grandiflora.’
