Seasonal Progression
You do not need a lot of plants to have a garden with a lot of impact. ‘String Theory’ Amsonia will be up early with finely textured threadleaf foliage, to be topped with star-shaped blue flowers in late spring. AMAZING DAISIES® will be at their peak in the heat of the summer. Deadheading will prolong bloom for many weeks. ROCK ‘N GROW® Sedum will contribute wide succulent foliage all season, with a floral display starting in late summer. Attractive seedheads will add fall and winter interest. ‘String Theory’ Amsonia will turn golden orange in fall for additional late season color.
