    Seasonal Progression

    Using a mixture of perennials with successive flowering periods is a great way to keep pollinators happy in your garden all season long. This combo begins in spring with bright flower colors of FRUIT PUNCH® Dianthus and MAGIC SHOW® Veronica. Both plants will rebloom sporadically throughout the rest of the growing season. PYROMANIA® Kniphofia will take center stage in summer when spikes of flowers emerge from their grass-like foliage. The round blooms of COLOR CODED® Coneflowers will serve as landing pads for bees and butterflies beginning in midsummer.
