The Forest Pansy Redbud Tree, ‘Cercis canadensis,’ is effective if planted as a specimen or in groups. This is an excellent small tree for lawns, woodland gardens or naturalized areas. The small, deciduous, under-story trees have a spreading, flat to rounded crown. Frequently planted as a street tree in residential neighborhoods, its heart-shaped leaves open bright reddish-purple, and will gradually mature to a more muted purple. They are easily grown in average, medium wet, well draining soil in full sunlight to partial shade

The Nepeta Walkers Low, ‘Nepeta faassenii,’ has a low mounding, gray-green foliage with deep lavender blue flowers. Also known as Catmint, this is one of the most vividly colored plants in its family. The flowers bloom from June to September, and the plants have a height of ten inches with a spread of up to two feet. This is a very drought tolerant variety but does need a well drained location. This beautiful plant attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, and is the perfect plant for a first time gardener

The Foxglove Foxy Mix, ‘Digitalis Foxy Mix,’ is a very showy and compact perennial. It produces an array of pastel colored blooms. The flowers come in colors of pink, pale yellow, purple, white and magenta with marbled markings. The large tubular flowers are grown on dense spikes. The velvety foliage has a fuzzy texture that will contrast well with the bloom colors. This plant makes fantastic cut flowers and can be grown in woodland gardens or a perennial border. If the flowers are not deadheaded, this beautiful plant will easily self-sow to produce future plants. All parts of Digitalis plants are poisonous if ingested
