Seasonal Progression

You do not need a lot of plants to have a garden with a lot of impact. This combo of perennials leads with fascinating foliage as well as tantalizing blooms. Silver Lining Artemisia will be up early in spring with beautiful silver dissected leaves to hold interest all season. Pops of contrasting dark color will be added with the black leaves of Dark Side of the Moon Astilbe. This plant will bloom in midsummer with tall spikes of rosy pink blooms. LUMINARY® Tall Garden Phlox will bloom to match at the same time, adding height to the recipe, and rebloom carrying interest through fall.
