The purple spikes of flowers bloom on striking black flower stems. These are valuable plants where summers are hot because they ignore the heat and stick with the business of making flowers.

Deep orchid-pink flowers can stand up to summer heat and low-water conditions once established. The large, vivid flowers provide great impact with long-blooming results. Bright flowers will entice hummingbirds, butterflies and other pollinators; however, the scented foliage keeps deer and rabbits from nibbling.

A dwarf Pincushion Flower from the Flutter series, featuring flowers that are larger and deeper blue than the popular S. ‘Butterfly Blue’. Blooms non-stop from spring through late summer. Terrific for mass planting, edging the border or in pots. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.

This sturdy perennial is as tough as they come. Clumping foliage displays large, plate-like flower clusters that start pink, then gracefully age to rosy russet-red in the fall. A fine addition to the rock garden or mixed border. Succulent foliage will die back to the ground in cold winter regions, but will re-emerge in early spring.

This long-blooming perennial brightens up the landscape late in the season when little else is blooming.  It features an abundance of lemon-yellow panicles atop healthy green foliage.

'Little Redhead' is a superior selection of the species, vegetatively propagated to ensure uniformity. Dark red tubular flowers with yellow interiors are produced above top of an upright clump of dark green, wedge-shaped leaves.
