Save $30 off the single plant price!* Designed by Lauren Springer Ogden - www.plantdrivendesign.com. Some years ago while living in eastern CO, Lauren Springer was faced with the prospect of revitalizing or removing a narrow strip of half-dead Kentucky Blue grass along the street side of her property. She decided to take a more creative approach and planted that narrow strip of ground between the sidewalk and street with an assortment of tough, xeric, lower growing perennials. The concept of the _Inferno Strip Garden_ was born. While not everyone has a street-side "Inferno strip", this garden collection is also ideal for other hot, sunny, narrow problem areas like those found against garage walls, along drive ways or in raised brick planter beds. The _Inferno Strip Garden_ uses an assortment of, xeric (water-thrifty) perennials to create a colorful, long blooming, low maintenance flower bed. We recommend that it be mulched to a depth of 2" with crushed gravel. Included are 3 plants each of "_Veronica pectinata_":/catalog/product/97360/, "_Agastache neomexicana_":/catalog/product/11813/, "_Penstemon strictus_":/catalog/product/75775/, "_Aethionema schistosum_":/catalog/product/11060/, "Salvia nemorosa 'Cardonna'":/catalog/product/84782/, "_Penstemon_ 'Elfin Pink'":/catalog/product/75718/, "_Dianthus_ 'Firewitch'":/catalog/product/41564/, 2 plants each of "_Callirhoe involucrata_":/catalog/product/28030/, "_Artemisia_ 'Seafoam'":/catalog/product/22632/, and 1 plant each of "_Centranthus_":/catalog/product/31655/ and "_Nepeta_ 'Walker's Low'":/catalog/product/71292/ for a total of 27 plants that will cover approximately 60 sq. ft. This fits rectangular areas ranging in size from 12 ft. long x 5 ft. wide, to 20 ft. long x 3 ft. wide. Order additional gardens to plant longer areas. A free planting/care guide instruction sheet is included showing how to arrange the plants. Suitable for use in zones 5-8. (Note: Not all the plants shown in the photo are sold in this garden collection. However, the overall color scheme and look of the garden will be the same.)
