Presenting a mosaic of warm colors with flowers of various ages, Achillea 'Terracotta' is a gorgeous Yarrow with masses of long-lasting clusters of peachy yellow flowers fading to a straw color. Its pleasantly aromatic, semi-evergreen, green-gray fern-like foliage is disease resistant and nicely compliments the cheerful flat umbel flowers. The honey color of this Achillea is perfect for both cool and warm borders. Blooms for weeks from early to late summer. Easy care, drought, heat, humidity, deer, and rabbit tolerant.

Vigorous, award-winning Monarda 'Gardenview Scarlet' (Bee Balm) is a clump-forming perennial boasting masses of vibrant red flowers, borne in dense, globular terminal heads. Blooming for weeks from mid-summer to early fall, they rest upon a whorl of decorative pink-tipped, pale green bracts that mature to bronze. Attracting scores of butterflies and hummingbirds, their vibrant color is set off to perfection by the bright, fresh green of the leaves, which are delightfully fragrant and can be enjoyed in salads or simply by passing by. This Monarda is significantly more resistant to powdery mildew than older varieties.

A must-have in the late season garden! Helenium 'Waltraut' is highly prized by gardeners for its extremely long blooming season, large blossoms (3" wide or 8 cm) and its unique and outstanding color. It features two shaded flowers, golden overlaid copper-orange with brown centers and rusty orange undersides that delicately mature to soft orange. The center disk is covered with golden pollen that attracts butterflies. Blooms for weeks from midsummer to fall and grows up to 4 ft. tall (120 cm)

Compact, mounding, and strongly scented, Erysimum 'Apricot Twist' (or 'Apricot Delight') provides weeks of splendid blooms from mid-spring through midsummer (if deadheaded). Brilliant, rich apricot four-petalled flowers, emerging from dark purple buds, are held in a dense raceme well above the attractive dark-green foliage that is evergreen in mild winter areas. Easy to grow, this perennial plant reaches 12-16 in. in height (30-40 cm) and branches freely in a bushy and erect fashion.

Hemerocallis 'Anzac' is an elegant midseason Daylily that produces an abundance of extra large, crimson-red flowers, 7 in. wide (17 cm), with pale lime-green throats. The flowers last at least 16 hrs (extended blooms) but no more than 24 hours (thus the common name 'Daylily'), opening up in the morning and withering during the forthcoming night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. Blooming from mid to late summer, this diploid Daylily is dormant (deciduous) and enjoys a good reblooming performance.

One of the most superb ornamental grasses, Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' (Hakone Grass) is a very beautiful golden variegated grass. Its foliage forms attractive mounds of gracefully arching, shiny leaves that ripple in the slightest breeze. The leaves are almost entirely variegated with gold longitudinal stripes that take chartreuse colors in the shade and turn brighter in the sun. Bringing alive any garden area, its foliage provides outstanding fall color when it changes to exquisite copper-orange shades before dying to the ground in winter.

With outstanding performance, even in hot and humid climates, this English Rose boasts masses of fully double, deep, rich crimson blooms, which add a charming tinge of mauve as time passes, making an attractive contrast with the bright yellow stamens. A prolific bloomer with a lovely fruity fragrance, this small, bushy shrub rose is a fast grower. A bouquet in a vase is nice, but a garden with this stunning rose will keep the romance at your door for months! Excellent repeat bloomer.

Named for Queen Elizabeth's coronation, award-winner Achillea 'Coronation Gold' is a spectacular herbaceous perennial bearing masses of long-lasting, conspicuous, bright gold flat clusters from late spring to late summer over a pleasantly aromatic, silvery-gray, finely cut foliage.  Extremely easy to grow, this yarrow provides outstanding results even if neglected. Drought and heat tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, this eye-catching yarrow is perfect for hot, dry, and sunny borders and excellent for cutting.

Dahlia 'Bishop of Oxford' is a beautiful addition in the garden thanks to the stunning contrast of its brilliant, coppery orange flowers atop its eggplant-colored foliage. The single flowers, up to 4 in. wide (10 cm) blend in nicely with other plants and add welcomed color and form to the late summer and fall borders. They are not top-heavy because they contain little water. They stand up nice and straight even when it rains.

Prized by gardeners for its dense, erect, tall spikes of bright violet-blue flowers, Veronica longifolia 'Blue Giant' or 'Blauriesin' (Speedwell) never fails at providing a great display in the summer garden. Extremely showy, the flowers open from the base upward from early to late summer. These attractive inflorescences are very decorative and are nicely complemented by the lance-shaped foliage of light to grayish-green leaves.
