    Seasonal Progression

    Keep pollintors buzzing through your garden with this combo of perennials. The COLOR SPIRES® Salvia and Paint the Town Dianthus will begin blooming early, followed closely by the ‘Storm Cloud’ Bluestar. Trimming back the Salvia after bloom will provide second and third flushes of flower. Sporadic rebloom will color the Dianthus through fall. Come fall the PRAIRIE WINDS® Ornamental Grass will begin to shine, complemented by the turning yellow foliage of the ‘Storm Cloud’ Bluestar and rebloom of the Salvia and Dianthus.
