This plant will surely attract attention! In late spring, the lovely, blue-green mound of leaves is covered with masses of heavily fringed, edible blooms creating a rainbow of color in white, pink, lilac, and rose that butterflies can’t resist. Some flowers may be bicolored or have contrasting eyes or rings. The sweet, flowery scent is often compared to jasmine. A wonderful choice for an old-fashioned cottage garden, cutting garden, or perennial border.

This charming blend of dwarf delphiniums performs better in the heat than others, and is an excellent choice for small spaces, or as an accent in the border or cottage garden. Prolific plants will bloom the first year, producing marine blue, light blue, soft rose, or white flowers. Grows well in containers and spots where the wind might topple taller varieties. Unlike traditional delphiniums, the dwarf type is a native of China, first introduced to England in 1818.

This treasured, heirloom wildflower, native to the eastern U.S., is a long-lived perennial that blooms for a month or more beginning in midsummer. The pinkish-purple petals of the stunning, daisy-like flowers surround a large, dark brown cone. Petals begin to droop as the cone enlarges and fills with seeds, which attract birds in the fall and winter. Echinacea grows well in a variety of conditions, and is excellent for borders and water-wise gardens. Perfect for fresh cut flowers.

Charming, 1″, sky-blue flowers open at dawn on airy and gracefully arching stems. Flowers last one day but are replaced the next morning providing constant color. Plants withstand summer heat, winter cold, poor soils, drought conditions, and will also grow in part shade. Plant in groups or mix with other wildflowers as effective erosion control. Seeds attract wild birds, and the flowers attract pollinators.

Scarlet flax is a show-off in the garden. Each brilliant red flower lasts just a day, but in profusion, they set the garden ablaze with intense color. Easy-to-grow, low maintenance plants attract pollinators and tolerate hot and dry conditions. Allow plants to go to seed, and you’ll be rewarded with months and years of color. This is an ornamental flax and not intended for consumption.

Bright blossoms sparkle in a vibrant display that lasts through the spring, summer, and fall. Sow seeds wherever you want a dash of color. Once established, plants need only minimal care. Sow in spring where bulbs such as crocus, daffodils, and tulips emerge, so that as your flower bulbs finish blooming, these flowers continue the show and fill the area with nonstop color. Many plants in this mix may reseed and come back the following year.
