Seasonal Progression
If freshly cut flowers or bouquets bring you joy, here is a combo of four perennials to consider for your garden space. AMAZING DAISIES® Shasta Daisies are in peak in midsummer and with deadheading can continue to show color through summer’s end. PYROMANIA® Kniphofia will take center stage in summer when spikes of flowers emerge from their grasslike foliage. Firefly Yarrow will bloom in summer, holding their form to create attractive seedheads. The round blooms of COLOR CODED® Coneflowers will serve as landing pads for bees and butterflies beginning in midsummer and carrying interest into fall.
