This garden bed is a delightful sight, with the rich violet-blue flower spikes of Salvia ‘Mainacht’ and Cherry Red Knockout Roses swaying gracefully under the dappled shade of Hakuro- Nishiki Willow. The warm summer sun filters through the leaves, casting a soft glow on the colorful blooms, creating a picturesque cottage garden scene.

All plants are recipients of prestigious awards for their noteworthy qualities.
