Seasonal Progression
Use these four long blooming perennials in concert for a season long floral display. MINI MARVELS® Carpathian Bellflower and BEJEWELED® Bearded Penstemon will be the first to bloom starting in late spring and continuing into early summer. Bobblehead and LUMINARY® Tall Garden Phlox will take over carrying the garden in midsummer with brightly colored blooms on large flower panicles. Sporadic rebloom on the LUMINARY® Tall Garden Phlox will add color in fall.
