Prairie Mallows - Else Heugh

The Prairie Mallows Else Heugh, 'Sidalcea', is a 2 to 4 foot-tall perennial that bears showy spikes of 2-inch-wide pink frilled flowers. Great cottage-garden plant that has the look of mini Hollyhocks, but not the dominating height or aggressive self-seeding. Long blooming seasons makes this a favorite in a mixed perennial border. Slender and upright, the prairie mallow is not extravagantly showy, but it's pretty enough in sunny beds. It has generous blooms, flowering for weeks in midsummer; naturalizes easily. It has average water needs but don't overwater. They require partial shade. You'll love the long-flowering plants in your summer garden. This is an old-fashioned flower that everyone loves. ... get more information

 

Geranium - Southcombe Double There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant.
