Seasonal Progression
This recipe matches fine foliage textures of varying colors and successive bloom times. ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ Nepeta will get things going in late spring with long spikes of purple-blue flowers. Cutting back after bloom will ensure rebloom through the rest of the year. PYROMANIA® Red Hot Poker support the recipe with grass-like foliage to start the season, before adding tall flower spikes in midsummer. AMAZING DAISIES® will burst into bloom in the heat of the summer and persist for many weeks, with deadheading extending bloom.
