‘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 cultivar of our East Coast native is one of the few penstemons adaptable to wet winters and hot, humid summers. 'Husker Red' shines with ruby-toned leaves. Late spring and early summer brings sturdy 3-foot-high stems adorned by panicles of white blooms that entice bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, but not deer or rabbits. In autumn and winter, songbirds feed on the seed. 'Husker Red' is stunning grown in groups.
Rows of white flowers dangle above the fern-like foliage, opening in April and continuing intermittently until October.
Daylilies are classic, extremely popular garden plants. They feature long, arching, strappy leaves and long stems of generally 6-petaled flowers, though double flowers are popular as well. Each flower lasts only one day, hence the plant’s common name. Daylilies come in a wide range of colors, from cream and cheery yellow to peach, orange, fiery red, deep burgundy, pink, and purple. Some have contrasting throats and "eye-zones." Daylilies are ideal for a mixed herbaceous perennial border.
