Know before you buy
These plants are selected for full sun, meaning they need at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to bloom effectively and maintain their form.
The collection is designed to cover approximately 20 square feet. You should plan for a garden bed that allows enough room for these perennials to spread as they mature over the first two seasons.
This collection is specifically curated for hardiness zones 5 through 8. If you are gardening in a significantly colder or hotter climate, these specific varieties may struggle to survive the winter or thrive during the peak summer months.
No, this collection is designed for low maintenance and includes a detailed planting plan and growing instructions. The varieties chosen are hardy and forgiving, making them well-suited for both beginners and seasoned gardeners.
While you will see blooms from June through October in the first year, the plants are designed to fill out and reach their full, intended impact by the second growing season.
These perennials perform best in average, well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy clay or very sandy, amending it with organic matter like compost before planting will help ensure the root systems establish successfully.
