Seasonal Progression

All perennials in this landscape recipe offer delightfully fragrant flowers and foliage. COLOR SPIRES® Salvia will lead the way in spring with early color. Sweet Romance® will be early to bloom as well with flowers persisting all summer. The middle of the summer will be dominated by the tall scapes of UPSCALE® Bee Balm. MEANT TO BEE® Agastache will start bloom in midsummer with colorful calyxes adding fall color.
