Hibiscus SUMMERIFIC® ‘Garnet Globes’
An incredibly compact Hardy Hibiscus selection, forming a 3-foot tall and wide sphere in the landscape. Beginning in midsummer, 7-inch dark garnet red flowers cover the habit, appearing the length of the stem. Flowers have notably dark eyes for Hibiscus. Dark olive green foliage is broad. Zones 4 to 9.
Rudbeckia ‘Treasure Trove’
Large golden yellow star-shaped flowers completely cover the habit with well-branched stems prolonging bloom. A robust clump of foliage with large leaves ensures longevity in the landscape. Crucially, the leaves are highly resistant to Septoria leaf spot, with no damage through six years of trials. Zones 4 to 9.
Yucca ‘Dragon Slayer’
This tough, durable perennial thrives in hot, dry spaces with little to no attention. Rigid sword-like leaves create a perfectly rounded rosette of powdery blue foliage. Creamy white flowers appear on proportionate scapes in early summer. Excellent deer and rabbit resistance. Zones 5 to 10.
