This improvement over ‘Dalmatian Purple’ displays greater vigor, better uniformity, and an earlier bloom time. The Dalmatian Foxgloves are some of the fastest to finish and bloom, making them a favorite of growers looking to turn greenhouse space quickly and growers looking to plant and finish a crop for spring sales.This Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner produces large spikes of outward facing, lilac purple flowers with maroon spotted throats on sturdy, upright stems in early summer.Digitalis forms large rosettes of downy, green, oblong leaves from which numerous flower spikes emerge.

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:38 +0000

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Tolerates full shade. Best fall color generally occurs in sunny locations. This is an easy-to-grow plant with good tolerance for a wide range of soils and urban conditions. It often needs little care, but must be trimmed regularly to keep it in bounds. It should be sited in areas where it will have room to expand and grow.

They draw your attention from quite a distance and add terrific architectural presence to the garden in early summer and fall. Uniform color and form ensure a stunning display whether planted singly or en masse.The English hybrid type of delphiniums are bred by Dowdeswell’s Delphiniums in New Zealand and are hand crossed to produce the highest quality seed. These F1 hybrids have excellent form, strong stems, and a vigorous growth habit. They were selected for their improved tolerance of heat and humidity, while retaining their cold hardiness.

Campanula Carpatica ‘Dickson’s Gold’

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:30 +0000

Striking bright gold, toothed leaves form a compact clump; color is lime green if grown in part shade. Lavender blue, star-shaped, upward-facing flowers smother the foliage from late spring to midsummer, often repeating sporadically into fall. Makes an eye-catching addition to combination containers or as an edging in the landscape. Somewhat slow-growing; give this plant a special place in the garden where it will not be overtaken by larger perennials.

Rudbeckia ‘American Gold Rush’

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:28 +0000

Finally, a Black Eyed Susan that’s resistant to the Septoria leaf spot! Thanks to the thinner and hairier leaves, this hybrid Rudbeckia shows no signs of the fungus even in wet, humid conditions. A dome-like habit of golden yellow flowers with black centers are produced heavily from July to September here in Michigan, with some color until frost. Destined to be the new staple for landscapes! From Brent Horvath of Intrinsic Perennial Gardens.

Anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:28 +0000

‘Honorine Jobert’ produces single, 2-3” wide, pure white flowers with a cluster of bright yellow stamens in the center of each blossom. They are produced atop tall, wiry stems above an attractive clump of dark green foliage. It is a real standout in partial shade where it is happiest. A staple item for late summer and fall borders, Japanese Anenomes are graceful plants with beautiful, satiny flowers borne on tall stems above a clump of shorter basal foliage.

Anemone ‘Fall in Love Sweetly’

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:27 +0000

You’ll love how this perennial will extend the seasonal interest of your garden.

Semi-double flowers are produced above a large mound of dark green foliage. Spreads slowly through rhizomes.

Peony ‘Bartzella’

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:27 +0000

A mature plant of ‘Bartzella’ is incredibly elegant looking, with flowers neatly spaced on the top and sides of the clump. Established clumps can produce 80 or more flowers apiece! The semi-double to double, pastel yellow flowers have a small rose purple flare in the center and a pronounced sweet fragrance. They measure 6-8 inches across on average.Healthy green foliage similar to that of a tree peony forms an impressively sturdy clump to 3ft tall and wide. Unlike some garden peonies, the foliage of this plant looks great from spring through fall and is substantial enough to be grown in place of a small shrub in the landscape.Intersectional peonies are a relatively new class of Paeonia created by crossing herbaceous garden types with woody tree types. They are often called “Itoh Peonies” because the original cross was first made successfully by Japanese nurseryman Mr. Toichi Itoh in 1948. Sadly, he passed away before ever seeing one of his crosses bloom. Since that time, other hybridizers have continued his work including American breeder Roger Anderson.

Intersectional Peonies offer the best qualities of both garden and tree peonies combined including:

Very large, tree peony-like flowers in colors not previously seen in herbaceous types
Healthy, herbaceous foliage similar to tree peonies but with a robust, bushy habit that does not require staking
Strong, herbaceous stems that hold the flowers upright even after a heavy rain; makes a better landscape plant than older herbaceous peonies
A longer bloom time due to additional flowers being produced on side shoots
Extreme winter hardiness like herbaceous types but with increased vigor
