Late summer is the perfect time to introduce a new color to your landscape. While early flowers fade, a variety of exceptional plants are just reaching their peak, ensuring your garden stays vibrant well into autumn.
Here are three excellent additions for reliable late-season color:
Dynamic Perennials: Add plants timed to shine now. Color-coded Coneflowers (Echinacea) and Summerblaze Black-Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) offer fresh blooms that last for weeks.
Show-Stopping Shrubs: Panicle hydrangeas like Limelight Prime or Quick Fire Fab are late-summer stars, producing massive blooms that transition from white to rich pink and burgundy.
Continuous Fillers: Fill gaps with long-blooming selections. Superbena verbena provides low-growing color clusters, while Rockin' salvias offer striking upright flower spikes until frost.
Stop by the garden center this week to browse our selection of late-season stars and extend your garden's peak performance.
