Seasonal Progression
This spring and summer blooming combo will set you garden alight with color early in the year. The DOLCE® Heuchera will be the first to show color when vivid new foliage emerges in spring. ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ is a compact Catmint and will be next with clusters of purple-blue flowers. Together the Heuchera and Catmint are perfect for lining the front of the border. ‘String Theory’ will be next, with clusters of periwinkle blue stars over thread-like foliage. In fall, the leaves turn a brilliant golden orange color which should complement the hues of the DOLCE® Heuchera. The RAINBOW RHYTHM® Daylily will anchor the garden through end of summer.
