Penstemon - Husker Red
The Penstemon ‘Husker Red’, Penstemon digitalis, is one of the most popular Penstemon in its family. Being Perennial of the Year in 1996, one can see why. Best known for its maroon-red foliage, the white flowers make a wonderful contrast. Blooming in early summer, it has a plant height of 3’ and a spread of 12-18”. It is best to plant Penstemon in a full sun location, having a moist, well-drained area. Being drought tolerant, ‘Husker Red’ looks great in a perennial border, in a naturalized setting or for cuttings. Hummingbirds and butterflies love this perennial, not to mention being deer resistant. ... more info
Peony - Festiva Maxima The Peony Festiva Maxima, Paeonia lactiflora 'Festiva Maxima' is a double bloom peony with white blossoms and a hint of pink peaking through the center of each bloom. Peonies are one of the best cut flowers and are often used in the Midwest to decorate gravesites on Memorial Day. All of our peonies are widely adaptable to most soils across the country. They bloom in mid to late spring and have very large, colorful blooms that stand out in the spring garden. Peonies can handle dry to moist sites, and do best in full sun but can handle some light shade. Often thought of as a plant used on the farm or out in the country, they bring a little bit of that country feeling to your garden. It is not uncommon to see peonies planted along the driveway or lane in a mass. |
