Seasonal Progression

Use this mix of sun-loving, long blooming perennials to keep the pollinators visiting your garden happy all summer long. Cat’s Pajamas’ Catmint will lead the way in spring with a brilliant display of lavender-blue flowers. This plant will rebloom throughout the summer. The Profusion Salvia will begin blooming early for a brilliant display in spring and early summer. Trimming back the Salvia after bloom will provide second and third flushes of flowers. Firefly Yarrow will bloom in summer, holding their form to create attractive seedheads.
