About This EZ Scape™ Design
Seasonal Progression
Using a mix of perennials with successive blooming periods is an excellent way to keep pollinators happy in your garden throughout the season. This arrangement begins in spring with the vibrant flower colours of Dianthus FRUIT PUNCH® 'Funky Fuchsia' and Veronica MAGIC SHOW® 'Ever After'. Both plants will rebloom sporadically during the rest of the growing season. Kniphofia PYROMANIA® will take centre stage in summer as flower spikes emerge from their grass-like foliage. The round flowers of Echinacea COLOR CODED® 'One in a Melon' will serve as landing pads for bees and butterflies from mid-summer.
