LARGE PACKET

Annuals, biennials and perennials. Fabulous colors in a mix of ground covers and tall spires are within this packet! A shady spot, whether under a tree or structure, or near a north-facing wall can be a real challenge for the gardener – many favorite flowers refuse to bloom. No need to resort to plastic plants or pink flamingos – this mix is the real deal for shade gardens!
