About this EZ Scape™

  •  

    Seasonal Progression

    This shade loving combo is built on fantastic foliage for a full three seasons of interest. ‘Spot On’ Pulmonaria will lead the way in spring with clusters of violet blue flowers. Spotted silver foliage will only get bigger and better as the season progresses, with the long broad leaves playing the perfect match to the fronds of ‘Crested Surf’ Painted Fern. The DRESSED UP™ Heuchera will add a third leaf shape with a dense habit of ruffled foliage. Mix these three perennials along the front of the border, and reserve the back for the large stately grace of a SHADOWLAND® Hosta.
