Beautiful in her autumnal tints! Very floriferous, award-winner Chinese Silver Grass 'Flamingo' is a lovely ornamental grass grown for its rose-pink, slightly pendant flower plumes on display from late summer on. Flowering earlier than many Miscanthus varieties, they delicately change to silvery white as they mature and provide good winter interest. They rise gracefully, well above the elegant foliage of narrow, arching green leaves with prominent white midribs, which turn to orange gold shades in the fall. Easily grown in a dense, upright clump up to 5-6 feet tall (150-180 cm). Drought tolerant, it is deer and rabbit resistant!

You will be charmed by the bountiful long-blooming spikes of vivid red flowers of Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail'. A real beauty for the border, this award-winner is a vigorous, upright perennial which enjoys an extremely long bloom season from early summer to fall and features cheerful bright crimson-red fleecy flower spikes held on long, graceful wands atop bushy clumps of large, slightly puckered, dark green leaves. Trouble-free and easy care, it attracts birds and butterflies but deer and rabbits ignore it!

Highly robust and vigorous, Anemone x hybrida 'Robustissima' is a sensational Japanese Anemone with single, soft pink cup-shaped blossoms borne on reddish stems. Dancing and swaying in the breeze, the eye-catching 5-petalled blossoms are gracefully carried on wiry reddish stems above mounds of divided, grape-like, dark green foliage.

Appreciated for their stature, ease of cultivation, and attractive flowers, Eupatorium maculatum, commonly known as Joe-Pye Weed, are strong growing perennials that provide a wonderful garden presence. Native to North America, they are noted for their erect, purple-stained stems (therefore "maculata") that are branched with flat-topped, 4-5 in. (10-12 cm) clusters of eye-catching rose-purple to mauve flowers. Often fragrant, their blossoms are attractive to bees and butterflies in search of nectar.
