We asked our garden experts at Spring Hill to take a typical 12'x12' bed and show how it could be planted with perennials and shrubs to provide a continuous display of floral and foliage color from spring, all through summer, and until the hard frosts of fall-and here's the impressive result! It's an easy-to-adapt idea that will give any area of approximately 140 sq. ft. (10'x14') around your home a truly professional look-with a minimum of work and without a serious drain on your pocketbook.
This spectacular parade of color starts in spring and continues all through summer and into the fall. The Fantasia Mums are not like regular Cushion Mums you buy from local garden centers, which die off after flowering. The Fantasia Mums are extra free-flowering and sufficiently hardy to come back again each year. The shrubs in this selection are also special-a Variegated Weigela for color that starts in spring and continues all season, a Forever Pink Dwarf Hydrangea for summer, and a Dwarf Burning Bush that colors-up in autumn.
SPRING: This Three-Seasons Garden doesn't wait for summer to produce beautiful color. Blooming begins in spring with the gorgeous pink blossoms of Variegated Weigela, followed by Poker Primrose and Pink Dwarf Bleeding Heart.
SUMMER: All summer long, your Three-Seasons Garden will be alive with the colorful blooms of Daylilies, Black Eyed Susans, Pink Mist Scabiosa, Orange Glory Flowers, Blue Butterfly Delphinium and Forever Pink Dwarf Hydrangea, adding their floral beauty to the interesting assortment of foliage textures which will enhance any setting.
FALL: The color parade of your Three-Seasons Garden doesn't stop when tinges of fall fill the air. Three different varieties of Fantasia Mums will provide multitudes of colorful blooms week after week all autumn long, augmented by the dramatic red foliage of your Dwarf Burning Bush.
1 Garden includes 30 prime quality perennials. (A $155.86 Catalog Value.)
