Blazing Star - White
The Liatris White, 'Laitris spicata'', has white, very attractive flower spikes that are 3-4' tall that bloom from the top down. This plant works great for tall borders, or in masses or containers. This showy native prairie plant is easy to grow and long-lasting in the garden. Prefers a well-drained to dry soil and full sun. Good for naturalized areas or cutting gardens. Because it can get lost if planted alone, plant in groups of three, five or more for full effect. The stems are covered with a grass-like foliage of dark green. . Flowering in summer, the plant size ranges from two to five feet tall and as wide. Excellent fresh or dried cut flower. ... more
Geranium - Southcombe Double For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. |
