Perennial of the Month - Vernonia
This tall (4’+) perennial thrives as a background plant, standing straight and showcasing its purple flowers from late summer to the killing frosts. Vernonia is fond of damp locations and is often seen growing wild along the banks of marshes. Sun-loving, it is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Heat and humidity tolerant, Vernonia is at its best planted in drifts to display its remarkable purple flowers.
Plant your Bulbs
Now is the time to plan for those first splashes of color which will be so welcome after whatever winter throws at us this year! Tuck-In-Bulbs are small, and easy to plant. Tuck them into rock gardens, pop them under trees or scatter them at the edge of the lawn. All these bulbs are available at Acer Gardens. You can have blooms from late March to early May! Garlic is also available. More Bulbs coming Labor Day Weekend!
