Seasonal Progression
Keep pollinators buzzing through your garden with this combo of perennials. The MAGIC SHOW® Veronica will begin blooming early for a brilliant display in early summer. Opening Act Phlox will burst into bloom next and continue for many weeks, with good rebloom showing color all the way to frost. The rest of the recipe will bloom under the heat of summer. These perennials will carry the garden with brightly colored blooms or large flower panicles. COLOR CODED® Coneflowers and Firefly Yarrow have attractive seedheads that can be left for fall and winter interest.
