Seasonal Progression
Most gardens are front loaded with early season color as spring blooming perennials tend to put on the best show in the garden center. This combo offers complementing colors and textures to spice up your late summer and fall garden. Stand By Me Bush Clematis will be first to bloom in early summer, but continue through late summer with wispy white seedheads following flower. MEANT TO BEE® Agastache will start bloom in midsummer with colorful calyxes adding fall color. ‘Serendipity’ Allium and ROCK ‘N GROW® Sedum will add foliage interest starting in spring, before flowering in mid to late summer and leaving being attractive seedheads for fall and winter interest.
