Try something new… perennials, annuals & shrubs.
Echinacea ‘Sunseekers’ series: Echinacea or coneflowers are the darlings of the perennial bed. They thrive in full to partial sun and thrive in at least four hours of sunlight per day. In the wild, coneflowers grow along the edges of woodlands, so they will thrive in spots with morning shade and afternoon sun or vice versa. So many new varieties to enjoy… collect them all!

Rosy purple calyxes extend the color when the blooms are past their peak flowering.
Continuous bloomer, heat & drought tolerant. Attracts bees, butterflies & hummingbirds. Resists deer.
‘Cats Meow’ Catmint (Nepeta hybrid): No catmint is a more beautiful, uniform grower than the ‘Cat’s Meow.’ The blue-purple flowers are dense and colorful, and its habit is more refined. It stands strong with no flopping, getting wider and growing into a broad mound as the season progresses.
Long blooming, heat & drought tolerant, fragrant flower and foliage. Attracts bees, butterflies, & hummingbirds. Resists deer or rabbits.
‘Meteor Shower’ Verbena (Verbena bonariensis): Lilac puffs bloom on deep green foliage in part sun to sun. A fun and effective flowering annual when planted in a large swath or in a container. 20 – 30 ” tall.
Award-winning continuous bloomer, heat & drought tolerant, no deadheading needed. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and resists deer.
‘Eclipse’ Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla): The ‘Eclipse’ Hydrangea is the first, true dark-leaf, mophead hydrangea. The dark purple–almost black– leaves, are a real standout in the landscape from summer to fall. You’ll appreciate the cranberry or amethyst flowers, depending on the soil pH.
The mound-shaped shrub ranges from 3-5 ft. tall and wide. Water only when the soil starts to dry out. Give shrub a good soaking at the plant’s base.
