COLOR SPIRES® Perennial Salvia will be the first to show color in spring. As they taper off ‘Cat’s Meow’ and DECADENCE® Baptisia will pick up the baton with beautiful flowering displays. RAINBOW RHYTHM® Daylilies will take center stage for the remainder of summer, with rebloom from the COLOR SPIRES® Perennial Salvia and ‘Cat’s Meow’ Catmint providing additional support.
