Award-winning Anemone blanda 'Blue Shade' is a very attractive tuberous perennial that provides drifts of bright colors in mid-spring. Lovely mounds of large daisy-like flowers, about 2 inches wide (5cm), show off in shades of lilac-purple over a finely cut fernlike foliage and spread out to form a carpet of flowers - all to the great pleasure of the onlooker! These daisies are a delight and seem to last for weeks. Ideal to plant in quantity along paths and borders, even under shade trees. For sheer spring joy, plant a few!

Muscari latifolium (Grape Hyacinth) is a gorgeous species that is gaining increasing popularity. Its flower cluster displays two different kinds of flowers. At the top are the sterile, light blue flowers. Below them are the fertile, dark purple-blue flowers. This broad-leafed species creates a lovely color combination all by itself and flowers over a long period.

Highly popular since its introduction in 1890, Tulip 'Peach Blossom' is a Double Early Tulip to die for! Fragrant, it generously displays double rows of silvery pink petals flushed with deep pink. A delight in the early - mid spring garden! Growing only 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) tall on sturdy stems, it will proudly withstand April's showers!
