Seasonal Progression
Deer resistance really can be this colorful without doing too much work. ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ Catmint and Paint the Town Dianthus lead the way in spring with brilliant complementing displays of purple and pink flowers. Both plants will rebloom throughout the summer, with ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ having stronger secondary blooms. Athena Gold™ will provide a burst of late summer color and bring the combo through to the end of the season. Use the fantastic foliage of DRESSED UP® Heuchera as a constant source of color all season long.
