Beloved by hummingbirds, butterflies and gardeners alike, the lushly-colored burst of clustered funnel-like reddish magenta blooms showcases sunny-yellow throats plus a light fragrance.

Tackling most foliar diseases, cold winters and clay soil, ‘Minuet’s undemanding mien lends prismatic accents to foundations, mixed borders, massed plantings or hedges.

Prized Pulmonarias……

One of the earliest perennials to bloom, you can be picking their enchanting urn-shaped flowers in February while the rest of the garden still slumbers. Many cultivars showcase an array of mercury-hued dapples, speckles and spots, while others sport solid pewter sheens or striking silver streaks. Easy-to-grow Pulmonarias prefer the lacy light of a woodland setting plus cool moist soil. Our newsletter also includes a handful of other shade-loving perennials that promise alluring foliage. Many of these perennials can be partnered with Pulmonarias for intriguing foliar contrast. You may wish to check out our online Pulmonaria offerings.

All of us plant and paper wranglers wish you good health and happy digging!
