Seasonal Progression
Try this easy, floriferous solution to garden spaces plagued by browsing deer! ‘White Diamonds’ will be the first to bloom in late spring with profusions of white flowers appearing through summer. LIVING LARGE™ Salvia and TOTALLY STOKED™ Stoke’s Aster will bloom successively in early and midsummer to extend color. PRAIRIE WINDS® Ornamental Grasses will fill in through summer with fine texture before appearing with elegant seedheads in fall. If left standing, PRAIRIE WINDS® Grasses will provide winter interest.
