Multiple award-winner, Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' is a favorite of many gardeners for its unique, glowing dark purple stems and stunning, vertical spikes of rich, violet-blue flowers appearing in late spring or early summer. Very striking when in bloom, they last for weeks and bring strong color and form to the landscape. Drought tolerant and deer resistant, this Salvia is a real magnet for butterflies, hummingbirds and bees! Reliable and compact, it grows in round clumps of gray-green, aromatic foliage up to 18-24 in. high (45-60 cm) and nearly as wide.

Award-winning Penstemon 'Rich Ruby' is a bushy semi-evergreen perennial with erect purplish stems boasting large, bell-shaped, burgundy-red flowers with distinctive white stamens in the lower throat. They rise above a foliage mound of lance-shaped, fresh green leaves. A compact, vigorous and fast growing variety that is excellent in pots and containers as well as directly in the garden. On display from early summer through fall, this Penstemon grows vigorously to 2-3 ft. tall and wide (60-90 cm). Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
