Considered by many gardeners one of the best red double Peonies, Peony 'Karl Rosenfield' is exceptionally eye-catching! Large, rose-shaped, vibrant cherry-red, double blossoms, up to 6 in. wide (15 cm), are borne in profusion above the lush foliage in late spring - early summer. Fragrant, this late midseason peony is reliable and vigorous and grows in a lush, bushy mound of glossy, dark green, divided foliage reaching up to 24-36 in. in height (60-90 cm).

Noted for its rich, fruity fragrance, Rosa A Shropshire Lad is absolutely ravishing with its large rosettes displaying up to 100 perfectly arranged, soft, and peachy pink petals. Remaining beautiful at all stages, the shallow cup is delicately framed with pale outer petals that are slightly back-turning. Blooming from late spring until frost, it remains attractive throughout, with the flowers holding their perfect shape to the end. This David Austin variety of English Rose is related to 'Leander' from which it inherits its health, vigor, and almost thornless growth.

Vigorous, David Austin English Rose Lichfield Angel is a repeat-flowering rose featuring profuse, fully double flowers starting as deep cups of creamy apricot, which gradually open to neatly cupped rosettes (100 petals) before forming more domed flowers of creamy white in the bright sunshine.

Salvia sclarea (Clary Sage) is an attractive biennial or short-lived perennial forming a basal rosette of strongly scented, wrinkled, gray-green leaves. In late spring, very showy inflorescence of tubular, two-lipped, creamy white to lilac flowers opens well above the foliage. Although the flowers are quite small, they are subtended by papery, mauve-pink bracts that attract attention. Adding a cottage flavor to the garden, this sage creates real drama when in peak bloom. Native to the Mediterranean region.

One of the earliest hardy Salvia to bloom, multiple award-winner Sage 'Mainacht' or 'May Night' (Salvia x sylvestris) has been in cultivation for 30 years and has become quite a standard. Extremely showy, it displays stunning spikes of rich, violet-blue flowers which pleasantly contrast darker bracts. They appear in late spring and bloom for weeks, often throughout the summer.

Providing architectural height to borders, Digitalis purpurea 'Excelsior Hybrid' is a popular and remarkable strain of Foxgloves boasting tall spikes of pendulous, funnel-shaped blossoms in a lovely range of pastel colors including pink, lavender, and white. Arranged all around the spike, the blooms of this eye-catching biennial or short-lived perennial display throats copiously spotted with maroon or purple. Blooming profusely from late spring to mid-summer, they are attractive to hummingbirds, which hover near the tubular blossoms, and to birds that flock to the seedheads in the fall. The plant forms a low rosette of coarse, hairy leaves in the first year, bursting into flower the second spring, then setting seed and usually dying. Offering a long-lasting floral display, this eye-catching plant naturalizes well, as it self-sows freely, and creates lovely colonies in the landscape.
