Seasonal Progression
Flow through the seasons with the effortless floral impact of this EZ Scape™. The Paint the Town Dianthus will get things started in spring with a carpet of color. ‘Serendipity’ Allium will follow in summer with numerous globe-shaped clusters of rosy purple flowers. As the display on ‘Serendipity’ is winding on, the SUMMERIFIC® Hibiscus will burst onto the scene with massive pinwheel-like flowers. Steady through the season, the decorative seedheads of the PRAIRIE WINDS® Ornamental Grass will provide fall and winter interest if not cut back. Look for blue tones in the Allium and Dianthus foliage to complement the purple and pink flowers.
