Phlox Pink Profusion
Pink Profusion flourishes in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Vibrant pink blooms cover this plant from spring to summer. Ideal for incorporating bright color into your backyard landscaping, and is perfectly sized for rock gardens or borders.
Primrose
Primrose are cold hardy, heat tolerant, and bloom over a long period of time. You can plant primrose in containers, window boxes, or along a walkway. Primrose have deep green, textured foliage with a mix of brightly colored blooms and contrasting centers.
Phlox Violet Pinwheels
These long-blooming, low-growing perennials produce vibrant violet blooms in spring and a rebloom in fall. Violet Pinwheels make a gorgeous border edging, and are an excellent selection for use in a rock garden since they flow beautifully over rocks, slopes, and banks.
Echinacea Evening Glow Coneflower
This perennial produces unique and eloquent blooms of a deep rose shade surrounding the cone and the petal tips are a light apricot color. Plant in ordinary, well-drained soil. The Echinacea Evening Glow Coneflower is a good fit for informal settings, natural-looking beds and cutting gardens.
Agastache Purple Haze
This perennial is appreciated for its strong stems and deep purple, long-lasting blooms — the mint-scented foliage is a bonus. The flowers thrive in full sun and will attract both hummingbirds as well as butterflies. They are a welcome addition to most any garden.
