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.
