Seasonal Progression

Use this mix of sun-loving, long blooming perennials to keep the pollinators visiting your garden happy all summer long. Paint the Town Dianthus will be the first to bloom in late spring, before being closely followed by MAGIC SHOW® Spike Speedwell. Sporadic rebloom will keep flowers blooming on each plant after the main performance has finished. Opening Act Phlox will burst into bloom under the heat of the summer and continue for many weeks, with good rebloom showing color all the way to frost. As an added bonus, all memebers of these series have show excellent mildew resistance to keep the foliage looking as clean as the flowers.
