Seasonal Progression
Using a mixture of perennials with successive flowering periods and fantastic foliage is a great way to keep interest in your garden all season long. This combo begins in spring with bright foliage colors from PRIMO® Heuchera and flower spikes on MAGIC SHOW® Veronica. AMAZING DAISIES® Shasta Daisies are in peak in midsummer and with deadheading can continue to show color through summer’s end. ‘Denim ‘n Lace’ Russian Sage will carry interest in late summer as it comes into bloom. Colorful calyxes and silver foliage will provide interest well into fall.
