A Few Luscious Flowers for Your Garden

Time to try some luscious flowers in a pot or in the garden....here are some for your consideration:


PEONY 'SORBET' (Paeonia lactiflora ‘Sorbet’)

The unusual pink and white 5-7" double blooms of this hybrid are  delectable! The fragrant flowers look amazing in early summer and the handsome foliage turns red in autumn.

These bushy plants grow up to 4' tall and require little care. Suitable for any climate and soil type. Space 36-48" apart.

Deer tend to avoid.
