Coreopsis is a no-fuss flowering friend, forgiving to beginners, and a colorful companion throughout the growing season with over 100 species.
This striking shade perennial has bold, gold-colored leaves, which really pop and shine, helping it stand out in a shady location. And bonus, that gold coloring will become even brighter in the morning sun. Even more, the leaves are a bit puckered, adding nice textural interest.
Not only does this beauty have creds (she was the National Rose of the Year in 2020), the Oso Easy Double Red® Rose is a hard worker, putting out double petals for a lush, luxurious look. She also blooms all summer and is disease resistant.
The Denim ‘n Lace Russian Sage is an award-winner and one of “Garden Answer” Laura’s personal favorites. Their lacy-like, bright, sky-blue flowers bloom an exceptionally long time, and are a favorite of hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. Plus… both flowers and leaves are quite fragrant!
The Summerific® “Holy Grail” Rose Mallow, a hibiscus hybrid, has incredibly large flowers that are stunning not only because of their size, but also because of their rich, deep-red color. And then there’s the foliage…
When it comes to flowers, blue is always a harder color to find. Which is just one reason why the Blue Chiffon® Rose of Sharon is such a spectacular plant. Plus, they just cover the plant when they start to bloom about mid-summer usually lasting right through our first hard frost.
If you’re looking to add a touch of serene beauty to your landscape, you need to meet the smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens), a delightful shrub that promises to transform your garden into a lush haven.
A great addition for beginner and seasoned gardeners alike, the low-maintenance beauty known as the cinnamon fern adds seasonal interest to your landscape. Great for shade or sunny, wet locations in your yard and garden.
