This flowering powerhouse stays in color with 3″ diameter orange flowers throughout the summer months.

Outstanding when grouped in the landscape. Perfect in mixed perennial containers.

Leave it to Proven Winners®/Color Choice® plants to take a nice flowering shrub and make it great. Double Take Orange™ does just that by taking the common Quince that filled the landscape with early color but unwanted, painful throns and messy fruit and makes it into even more of an early spring color bomb while removing all the things that bugged you about your ‘old school’ Quince. Gone are the thorns, gone is the fruit and gone are even the flowers as you remember them replaced by HUGE, silver dollar sized, ruffled pink-orange flowers that line the smooth, thornless branches of this vigorous, rounded, spreading shrub. These camellia-like blooms begin to open in early to mid April and soon cover the branches giving you a show that other Quince can only dream of. Plant this easy care beauty in a half to full day sun location. It’s deer resistant, will tolerate pruning well and will look outstanding as a single specimen or grouped to form an unforgettable flowering hedge.

This member of the Tropicanna® family certainly is showy, just in a different way than its realtives. While Tropicanna® Gold and Tropicanna® show off brilliantly colored variegation, Tropicanna® Black exudes a deep, dark coolness in the garden with deep purple foliage that is nearly black in appearance. It’s incredible how the large Canna foliage adds so much texture to the landscape and added together with this elegant color, the plant is a show stopper. This sultry, rich color also serves as a great foil for its big flowers, held aloft from the foliage on stout stems starting in June and continuing into September. This bloom nearly jumps out at you from the garden with a bright scarlet-orange color that looks even more brilliant backed by the deep colored foliage. Any sunny garden spot or mixed container will show off Tropicanna® Black and its great gift of color and texture very well.

Tropicanna® has become one of the most iconic summer plants in the garden….even the northern garden when it’s not hardy. Why would a tropical become such a mainstay? For the simple reason that there is nothing else like it in the world! It’s strongly verticle profile leaps out of the garden with huge multihued variegated foliage that changes from burgundy to red to pink with splashes of yellow, gold and deep green across its long oval form. Even the foliage is great to cut for vase arrangements and we haven’t even talked about its bloom! And bloom it does with brilliant orange flowers on stout stems above the foliage from June through September. The color combination sounds loud but it has an amazingly unique power to blend with the garden while standing out individually and making the rest of the garden look even better! Plant Tropicanna® in any half to full sun area…it looks great everywhere including near water features and in containers.

Vigorous and floriferous, you’ll find ‘Flamenco’ is a perfect flowering vine for late summer with masses of fiery red, orange throated tubular flowers starting in late July and continuing right on into september.

This aggressively growing vine is easy to grow and one of the most rewarding plants you can have in your landscape. It may take awhile to bloom but once it does, you’ll marvel at its abundance of reddish-orange flowers throughout the summer and the wildlife they attract. Trumpet Vine is one of the best plants in the landscape for attracting hummingbirds while also providing a food source for a variety of native bees and insects. Even better, its big expanse and thick growth provide an essential nesting area for a big cross-section of our native songbirds, bringing color and life to your landscape even when it is out of flower.
