Seasonal Progression

This shade loving combo is built on fantastic foliage for a full three seasons of interest. ‘Heaven Scent’ Polemonium and ‘Pink-a-Blue’ Pulmonaria will lead the way in spring with clusters of pink and blue flowers. The spotted silver foliage of ‘Pink-a-Blue’ will only get bigger and better as the season progresses, with the long broad leaves playing the perfect match to the fronds of ‘Crested Surf’ Painted Fern. The DRESSED UP® Heuchera will add a third leaf shape with a dense habit of ruffled foliage.
