The Mayflower is very charming with its medium-sized, fully double, rose pink rosettes (140 petals), rich with a strong old rose fragrance. The unique features of this rose shrub are its complete resistance to blackspot, powdery mildew, or rust, and its continuous flowering - from very early in the season (earlier than any other roses) till frost. A small, compact, impressively bushy, and extremely healthy rose shrub with excellent vigor and quick repeat bloom that is rarely without flowers! Excellent repeat bloomer.

A very popular Penstemon variety, award-winning Penstemon 'Stapleford Gem' is a bushy semi-evergreen perennial with erect panicles boasting large, richly colored bell-shaped flowers, 1.5 in. long (3.5 cm). The blooms are a fabulous mix of bright lilac trumpets with pale lilac-pink upper lips, white lower lips, and throats exhibiting a delicate purple veining. This attractive color palette makes it easy to fit most garden color schemes. The flowers rise on wine-red stems above a foliage mound of shiny, lance-shaped 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 late spring through fall, this Penstemon grows vigorously to 24 in. tall and wide (60 cm). Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
