While this plant is an absolute must for attracting butterflies to the landscape, it is also a must for the beauty it adds to the garden. Upright growing with long, lance-like foliage, this Asclepias provides tall backing to any American Beauties garden while producing umbels of small, mauve-pink fragrant flowers from late June through July. Swamp Milkweed loves moist, sunny areas and is the signature plant for Monarch caterpillars and for nectar for Monarch adults as well as other showy landscape butterflies. Even the silky fiber left post bloom is valuable to nesting birds. Plant it in groups and watch the landscape come alive with critter color!

This tough minded perennial has a soft side with rosy-pink, tuft-like flowers held aloft individually on narrow, 4″ stems in April and May and purplish-red, grass-like foliage that adds color to the landscape after the flowers are gone. An even more intense bronze foliage hue adds color to the fall garden on this plant that is perfect for grouping in sunny, well-drained soils.

Deep green, grass-like foliage forms a mound that gives rise to slender flower stalks in April. Each stalk is tipped by buds that open to a riot of white, pink and rose red colors that will light up the early spring landscape. Easy to grow. Tolerates sandy, dry soils. Dependable for grouping in the front of a garden or for use in a mixed perennial deck planter. The blend of flower colors makes this plant unique.

Grass-like foliage forms a tight mound in early spring and serves as the backdrop to flower stems that rise above bearing globular pink flowers starting in April and continuing through May. Strong, long bloomer for early spring.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Wink Pink Columbine flowers spring through early summer, with a showy display of soft pink upright facing flowers.  Winky varieties are the most floriferous Aquilegia in the garden center and are mildew tolerant.  This columbine will perform in the landscape or as a wonderful mixed container patio plant.

Here’s your chance to get in on the ground floor with a new series of Columbine and a unique color that will draw approving nods from your customers. The Swan series of Aquilegia are the best and brightest, a new series bred for earlier and profuse flowering on very uniform plants. There are a stunning group of color combinations, but none more stunning than that of ‘Swan Pink & Yellow’, combining these two shades in a way that has not been seen in a Columbine before. These dense, beefy plants will bud in early April with flowers appearing later in the month that feature a light lemon yellow flower corolla set off by a coral pink horned back. You’ll be amazed by the color and the sheer numbers of flowers that these tough, easy to grow plants will bring to your garden. They’ll thrive in full sun or partial shade and your customers will be fighting to buy groups of them!
