Sun to shade. 16 inches. Striking cranberry red foliage outlined with chartreuse on vigorous plants. Attention getter for border and containers.
Partial shade. 12 to 15 inches. Late flowering plants provide plentiful foliage all summer long. Leaves have a fiery orange center bordered by dark bronze. A good choice for containers or the border.
Sun. Provide a minimum of 1 square foot per plant. Flash will supply you with large, smooth, tasty leaves throughout the summer and and well into fall. Flash freezes beautifully. Blanch quickly, spin dry and freeze in bags. Defrost and heat briefly. You will not believe they came out of the freezer!
Partial Shade. Height 16″, spread 12″. Perennial. This sweet spring bloomer offers such joy early in the season. Its red flowers’ nodding heads are delightful planted among other native plants. In our garden we allow this native Columbine to roam among the mountain laurels, wild high bush blueberries, may apples and hepatica and violets. Hummingbirds visit these plants throughout the day while they remain in bloom. Allow some seed heads to ripen to help spread this little spring wonder.
Partial Sun/Partial Shade. Height 18″, spread 12″. This spring-to-midsummer bloomer is such a lovely little plant. While in bloom it is a magnate for hummingbirds and bumble bees. After blooming the thick foliage is a standout. No need to ‘fill a hole’ post bloom. Be sure to leave a few mature seed heads to enable its spread.
Sun to partial shade. 16 inches. Deep purple-red leaved foliage plant with a lateral growth habit that can reach three feet. When grown in partial shade the foliage color is more reddish-bronze. Excellent in containers and at the front of the border.
