Prairie Mallows - Else Heugh

$8.05

The Prairie Mallows Else Heugh, 'Sidalcea', is a 2 to 4 foot-tall perennial that bears showy spikes of 2-inch-wide pink frilled flowers. Great cottage-garden plant that has the look of mini Hollyhocks, but not the dominating height or aggressive self-seeding. Long blooming seasons makes this a favorite in a mixed perennial border. Slender and upright, the prairie mallow is not extravagantly showy, but it's pretty enough in sunny beds. It has generous blooms, flowering for weeks in midsummer; naturalizes easily. It has average water needs but don't overwater. They require partial shade. You'll love the long-flowering plants in your summer garden. This is an old-fashioned flower that everyone loves. ... additional info

Geranium - Southcombe Double The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant.
