Perfectly Pretty Perennials

This year's crop of new perennials is perfectly pretty! I've been excited about them since they arrived in February and now that theyr'e starting to bloom, it's even better. It seems like bi-colors are leading the pack this year.

One of my favorites is Fire Spinner Ice Plant. It's a beautiful new bi-color ice plant that is truly unusual. Purple in the center spinning out to yellow/orange at the tips, this beauty is a Plant Select award winner.

There are a large number of new irises but one of my favorites is Poem of Ecstasy. This is a bi-color lavender and peach iris and it is spectacular.

The new West Country series of lupines are bi-color lupines in red/yellow and purple/yellow. These are striking in the garden and I can't wait to add them to my collection.

Lots of other great new plants too. Stop by your local garden center today for your own perfectly pretty perennial fix!
