It’s time to begin your summer garden, and there’s no better way to start than with larger-growing perennials.

At Santa Fe Greenhouses, we specialize in perennials. Nectar-rich Agastaches, sun-loving Lavender (left), silvery Artemisia “Powis Castle”, Bush Salvias, and bright Hollyhocks are some of our recommended favorites. And early spring’s cool weather is the perfect time to plant them.

These taller varieties add dimension to your garden when paired with lower-growing perennials like Penstemon, Wine Cups, Chocolate Flower, and early-blooming Veronicas. Be sure to add a handful of Yum Yum Mix® with each transplant, and use Soil Mender® Mulch to retain moisture.
