Presented by Proven Winners
A sunny garden, bursting with colour and protected from deer: this is the promise of "Sun-Loving & Deer Resistant". This perennial mix cleverly combines beauty and functionality. From spring, Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ and Dianthus ‘Paint the Town Magenta’ offer a harmonious display of pink and purple flowers. These two plants will bloom generously throughout the summer, with more pronounced reblooming for the Nepeta. In late summer, Heliopsis helianthoides ‘Tuscan Sun’ adds a splash of bright yellow that extends the garden's appeal into fall. Meanwhile, Heuchera PRIMO® ‘Wild Rose’ provides consistent decorative foliage, from spring until the doorstep of winter.
