Long Blooming, Drought Tolerant
The flowers are absolutely the color of a ripe cantaloupe! Echinacea SUPREME ™ 'Cantaloupe' is just as delicious as its name. This delightful semi double Coneflower resembles a gerbera daisy in the early stages. As SUPREME ™ 'Cantaloupe' begins to open a dark brown eye is surrounded by the ripe cantaloupe orange petals. As the flower matures, the pom pom center turns orange surrounded by a flurry of petals

Carpathian Bellflower

Will continue blooming for weeks if spent blossoms are regularly removed. Excellent choice for the rock garden, edging and in containers. Performs especially well in regions with cool nights during the summer. Plants should be divided every 2 to 4 years, in spring or fall. Prefers good drainage.

English Lavender
USDA Zone: 4-9
Lavender is a low-growing shrub, native to the Mediterranean region. The fragrant flowers and foliage make it a favorite for herb gardens and in the perennial border. Will also grow fine in tubs or containers, but in colder regions the plants may then need shelter for the winter. This reliable, compact selection has grey-green foliage and bright lavender-blue flowers. Prune lightly in early spring, no harder than 4 inches. Lavender MUST have good drainage in order to avoid root rot problems. Consider growing in a raised bed or rock garden. Drought tolerant once established.
