Oriental Poppies bloom lavishly in May and June, creating a burst of brilliance without equal, and flourish in sun and almost any soil, though they prefer deep, rich loam. Space 15 to 18 inches apart and water occasionally during dry spells early in the season. Other than this, they need virtually no attention.

Penstemon 'Sunburst Amethyst' �New Delightfully floriferous, this cultivar offers merry purple bells with purple-striped white interiors, bobbing atop sturdy upright stems in the sunny summer garden. A carefree native perennial (combining American and Mexican species) with superb drought tolerance, its blooms are excellent for cutting, and attract butterflies to the garden. Best in low-humidity climates, this plant tolerates poor and dry soils, is unpalatable to deer, and is quite cold-hardy. A bright and floriferous new selection! 4-inch pot.

A reblooming Oriental Poppy is a rare thing, and ‘Harlem’ is among the very best. Its large burgundy-rose blooms arise on strong stems, first in early summer and again at season’s end. And the foliage remains green and fresh well beyond bloomtime. Bareroot.
