Seasonal Progression
Use this combination of cool-tone perennials to create a drought tolerant landscape with season long interest. ‘Catwalk Queen’ Nepeta will be one of the earliest perennials to emerge in spring, flowering by late spring with rebloom adding interest through the end of the season. DOLCE® Coral Bells will add foliage interest all season, with semi-evergreen characteristics carrying color through winter. The evergreen leaves of Dragon Slayer Yucca will provide year-round interest, with scapes of cream colored flowers putting on a display in midsummer.
