Gaura - Crimson Butterflies
The Gaura Crimson Butterflies, 'Gaura lindheimeri', has numerous butterfly-shaped hot pink flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer. The dark crimson foliage is also one not to be missed. With a plant height of 18” and a width of 24-36”, it is definite addition to any perennial garden. ‘Crimson Butterflies’ Gaura requires full sun in a well-drained area with average to rich soil and is very drought tolerant. A major attraction to butterflies, it continues to bloom through the first hard frosts of autumn into winter. ‘Crimson Butterflies’ looks great on a rocky ledge, near bricks and stones, near Sedum 'Autumn Joy' or small dahlias. It's also enchanting with pink bush roses and as a contrast to plants with big fleshy leaves. ... additional information
Peony - Raspberry Sundae The Peony Raspberry Sundae, Paeonia lactiflora 'Raspberry Sundae' has white blooms with a raspberry swirled center across each bloom. Peonies are one of the best cut flowers and are often used in the Midwest to decorate gravesites on Memorial Day. All of our peonies are widely adaptable to most soils across the country. They bloom in mid to late spring and have very large, colorful blooms that stand out in the spring garden. Peonies can handle dry to moist sites, and do best in full sun but can handle some light shade. Often thought of as a plant used on the farm or out in the country, they bring a little bit of that country feeling to your garden. It is not uncommon to see peonies planted along the driveway or lane in a mass. |
