SUPERTUNIA® BORDEAUX™ Petunia

PRIMO™ Black Pearl Heuchera

SPILLED WINE ® Weigela

The big, showy blooms of SUPERTUNIA® BORDEAUX™ will please crowds from early Spring right through hard frost. The abundant lavender flowers with deep plum veining cover the plant from top to bottom, spilling over the sides of window boxes, hanging baskets, and patio pots. Its vigorous, slightly mounded habit makes it not only the perfect filler and spiller for containers, but a great addition to landscapes as well. Requiring no deadheading for continuous blooms, this heat and drought tolerant Petunia is as low maintenance as they come.

In our opinion this is the best black Heuchera yet! PRIMO™ Black Pearl is a stunning black foliage plant for both shade and sun. It forms an incredibly dense habit of shiny, jet black leaves with scalloped, ruffled edges and rosy purple undersides. As if the foliage alone weren’t striking enough, long lasting small white flowers with pink calyxes appear, hovering on 18-20” scapes, in mid-Summer.

Both beautiful and versatile, SPILLED WINE® Weigela is the perfect landscape plant. It shares the same fabulous deep purple foliage and bright pink flowers of the classic WINE & ROSES® but in a more compact, manageable size. Growing wider than it is tall; SPILLED WINE® is the perfect shrub for edging beds or walkways and for incorporating under windows in your landscaping. Like all Weigela, it is deer resistant and very easy to care for.
