Seasonal Progression
Don’t let the summer heat get your garden down. Use this mix of perennials to add season long interest and weather the hottest months of the year. Paint the Town Dianthus will be the early season superstars. Semi-evergreen foliage will add interest through winter before being covered in flowers in late spring, with sporadic rebloom adding color through summer. AMAZING DAISIES® will burst into bloom in the heat of the summer and persist for many weeks, with deadheading extending bloom. PRAIRIE WINDS® grasses will add texture before they bloom in late summer. Leave standing through winter for added garden interest.
