Compact and beautiful, Lavandula stoechas 'Anouk' features dark plum flower heads topped with long-lasting violet-blue bracts delicately fading to pink as they mature. Highly aromatic silvery foliage. Great for mass planting, low hedges, or containers. This French Lavender blooms almost continuously from mid-late spring to late summer.

California Poppies (Eschscholzia Californica) are quick to bloom and ridiculously easy to grow. You will be charmed by their spectacular, billowing mounds of finely divided, blue-green lacy foliage capped with bountiful golden satiny flowers for weeks from late spring to early fall or fall through winter in mild climates. They come in a wide range of strong colors, such as creamy-yellow, scarlet, lilac, pink, and white. They are grown as annuals in cool weather areas or as short-lived perennials in hardiness zones 8 - 10. Fairly pest-free and low maintenance, they are heat and drought-tolerant. Will self-seed without becoming invasive.

Leptospermum scoparium (Tea Tree) is an upright evergreen shrub with small, aromatic (when crushed), needle-like leaves and showy flowers in late spring and summer. Borne along the stems, the blooms may be single or double, in shades of red, pink, or white depending on the varieties. Attractive to bees, they give way to small woody capsules containing tiny seeds, that hang on for a long time after the petals drop. Native to Australia and New Zealand, this shrub adds ornamental appeal to the landscape year-round.

Juncus patens (California Gray Rush) is an evergreen perennial plant that forms dense clumps of narrow, erect, gray-green to gray-blue, leafless stems. They are topped with subtle, inconspicuous golden-brown flower clusters from spring to fall. Native to California and Oregon, this plant is most beautiful in its vertical form and fine texture, providing a stunning contrast to broad-leaved companion plants. It is more heat and drought tolerant than the common Rush (Juncus effusus).

Presenting a mosaic of warm colors with flowers of various ages, Achillea 'Inca Gold' has become a favorite of designers with its masses of long-lasting clusters of vibrant orange flowers delicately fading to gold bronze as they mature. Its pleasantly aromatic, green-gray fern-like foliage is disease resistant and nicely compliments the cheerful flat umbel flowers. Blooms for weeks from early to late summer. Easy care, drought, heat, humidity, deer, and rabbit tolerant

Adding drama to the garden, Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra' (Black Cherry Plum) is a medium-sized, round-headed deciduous tree with a striking presence in the landscape, whether in bloom or not. This plum tree boasts some of the darkest purple leaves and twigs. Emerging bronze in spring, they turn almost black in the summer before turning orange and red in fall. Opening from deep pink buds in early to mid-spring, masses of bowl-shaped, single, pale pink flowers smother the bare branches and create a terrific floral display. They occasionally give way to red or yellow plums. A beautiful flowering tree with 3 seasons of interest that fits small gardens and provides a wonderfully contrasting foliage foil for other plants.
