With its green foliage, it has a plant height of 10” and a spread of 12-18"and is disease resistant. It is best to plant Scabiosa in full sun, with well-drained soil and it should be watered regularly throughout the warmer months to increase its overall performance. Deadheading after the first bloom will encourage repeat bloom time. ‘Pink Lemonade’ is great for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds and does excellent in rock gardens. It will do excellent for front-of-the-border areas, with Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam', Dianthus 'Bath's Pink', in mass plantings or as cut flowers. PPAF. ... more
Peony - Bowl of Beauty The Peony Bowl of Beauty, Paeonia lactiflora 'Bowl of Beauty' is a single bloom peony with rose colored blooms and creamy yellowish-white centers. Peonies are one of the best cut flowers and are often used in the Midwest to decorate gravesites on Memorial Day. All of our peonies are widely adaptable to most soils across the country. They bloom in mid to late spring and have very large, colorful blooms that stand out in the spring garden. Peonies can handle dry to moist sites, and do best in full sun but can handle some light shade. Often thought of as a plant used on the farm or out in the country, they bring a little bit of that country feeling to your garden. It is not uncommon to see peonies planted along the driveway or lane in a mass. |
