Prized by most gardeners, Peony 'Shirley Temple' is truly fascinating! Delightfully fragrant, the double flowers open from soft pink buds into large, rose-shaped, pale blush pink blossoms, packed with loosely arranged ruffled petals gracefully fading to ivory white as they age. Borne in profusion on strong stems in late spring - early summer, this midseason peony is weather resistant. Up to 32-36 in. in height (80-90 cm).

Introduced to American gardeners in 1881, award-winner Peony 'Felix Crousse' is still incredibly popular! The large, double blossoms are richly packed with raspberry-red petals, elegantly ruffled, and with a delicate silvery sheen at their tips. Delightfully fragrant, they are borne in profusion and are a real standout in the garden. Up to 24-36 in. tall (60-90 cm). Late Midseason Peony. Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society

A truly magnificent sight in the early to mid summer garden, award-winning Geranium x magnificum (Purple Cranesbill) is a hybrid hardy geranium forming dense mounds of large, 2 in. wide (5 cm), rich violet-blue, heavily veined, saucer-shaped flowers atop a velvety, deeply-lobed foliage that turns red in fall. While the flowering season of this geranium is fairly short (a couple of weeks), it is so intense and stunning that, coupled with this fall color interest, a garden spot should be dedicated to it.

Cultivated since the 19th century, award-winner Alchemilla mollis (Lady's Mantle) provides a lovely finish to a border or a path edge and blends beautifully with most perennials. This clump-forming perennial forms dense, leafy mounds of scallop-edged, toothed, densely hairy, light green leaves which nicely retain moisture beads after the rain.
