‘Autumn Bride’ is one of the best cultivars of the species H. villosa. The large, fuzzy, gray-green leaves set this one apart from all of the others. The midsummer white flowers are also attractive. This heuchera is tolerant of full sun but prefers partial shade, especially in the afternoon.

This pale-yellow-flowered daylily distinguishes itself with its profuse bloom and compact size (only 16 inches tall), making it good for containers and the borders. It is an early season bloomer with circular flowers that open in late afternoon and last through the night.

In early spring, the fleshy stems of ‘Britt Marie Crawford’ ligularia unfurl and are topped by rounded burgundy leaves. By June, it reaches full-foliage splendor, with upturned leaves resembling glossy bowls and rich purple undersides. While this gem may wilt in the hot noonday sun, soft shade will soon revive it. At the start of summer, bright golden daisies appear, providing a bold contrast.
