Asters provide a lively burst of color to the late season landscape featuring a mass of color-themed daisies in almost every hue. The flowers attract butterflies and pollinators to the garden. Wonderful for porch containers, mixed borders, and rock gardens. Cut flowers are long-lasting in fresh bouquets. Tip: Plant in spring to establish the roots and they’ll fulfill their perennial potential.

Autumn reds and oranges look great, but you’ll love seeing a splash of pink through your window this Sept. Large, delicate blooms atop tall stems, brighten the perennial garden and dance with the wind from summer into autumn. These do best in moist part-sun or part-shade areas. Excellent for borders, rock gardens, or mass plantings. Looks great in woodland settings. Perfect for all kinds of containers. Excellent cut flowers.

Japanese Toad Lily's starry orchid-like blooms with variegated petals of all colors are a late season delight. Tall stems of glossy, heart-shaped foliage provide a nice backdrop to other shade or part sun perennials all summer, then burst into bloom for a late summer and autumn display. Consistent soil moisture through summer assures the most prolific show of blooms. Appropriate near water and in damp woodland settings. Effective under trees where lawn has difficulty establishing. Makes a breathtaking specimen plant.
