Mexican Bush Sage is a perennial in the salvia group of flowering shrubs.
Fall Aster is native to the Eastern and Central U.S., especially Missouri. It is a deciduous perennial with fragrant purple daisy-like flowers and yellow centers.
Widely appreciated for its spectacular, bright yellow, daisy-like blooms with dark centers, the Black-Eyed Susan plant adds a charming dash of sunshine to cottage gardens, cutting gardens, rock gardens, patio containers, or sunny perennial borders.
The fragrant, silvery foliage and lavender-like blooms of Russian Sage add a misty-blue quality to xeriscape gardens, landscapes, borders, or patio containers; especially when several of these plants are grouped together.
Shaped like a Turkish turban or fez, the cardinal-red blooms of Turk’s Cap resemble those of a sleepy hibiscus flower with petals that never completely unfurl.
For an easy-to-grow perennial that is drought and heat tolerant, pest and disease resistant, and blanketed with showy lavender blooms from spring to fall, ‘Walker’s Low’ catmint is a must-have choice.
