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.
Pansies can withstand the cold of winter, but they can't tolerate heat. Plant 'em at the end of summer and they'll bloom until a hard frost. Then expect to see their smiling faces pop up again in the spring. Pansies have been a garden favorite since initial hybrid varieties were developed from wild Viola species back in the 1800’s in England. A mood-lifting choice for beds and borders. Superb for baskets, containers and window boxes. Wonderful for combination plantings.
