Exclusive to High Country Gardens, our Summer Showstopper Pre-Planned Garden will have the neighbors stopping by to admire your yard. Designed to provide low-maintenance, season-long color, itās ideal for difficult planting sites. Plant it in your hellstrips (or parking strip) between the street and sidewalk, edging front walks, or add a band of flowers to the south or west sides of your garage or home. It includes a mix of North American native plants as well as plants from around the world that thrive in hot, dry climates. Plants grow to less than 3 feet tall, so they will not block the view of driveways or traffic.
Not recommended for coastal areas of Oregon, Washington, or California, as the Valerian (Centranthus) can behave aggressively there.
For best results, we recommend planting with Yum Yum Mix.
*Plants are subject to change due to availability. Any substitutions will feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the garden design. Not all plants will be in bloom at the same time, as may be depicted in the artistās rendering.

"This a a great startup kit for my flower garden in front of my house. Great instructions and placement. All of the shipped plants started growing within a few weeks of transplanting."
"Everything seems to be growing now. One plant died, by HCG replaced it easily and quickly. I didn't give a five star since they haven't yet bloomed or grown color."
"This is my second preplanned garden purchased from HCG. The first I purchased about 3 years ago for a very large backyard area. It's doing amazingly well and it was so easy with the preplanning, since I really don't know much about the best plants, where to place them, etc. This year I created a new garden area in our front yard and planted this garden. So far, not one plant has died - they are all remarkably healthy and growing with flowers. The first year is usually a little slow, but I think over the next two summers it will seriously be a show stopper for traffic coming by on the street."
"Nice in strip garden near a wall. Wish I knew which plants reseed so I could trim to control growth."
"Most plants took this year to get established. Should meet expectations next summer. The Russian sage and catmint took off well. Regarding the following question about recommending the product to a friend, the answer is yes with the explanation that the plants are small and will take time to mature."
"I ordered this garden last year, along with a number of other plants, and planted them all in horrific heat. I watered everything faithfully, used yum yum and Superthrive and hoped for the best. This year the plants started popping up early and are now huge. Neighbors I don't know who walk their dogs or jog past have stopped to ask me if these were the same tiny plants they saw be planting last year. They are amazed! Wanted to know where I got them. I own another home an hour away where I had planted two other pre-planned gardens 9 years ago. High Country was owned by someone else at the time. The plants are healthy and beautiful but it took a couple, three years to get to the size of the plants I bought just last year for this house. Can't say enough good things about the quality and customer support."
"I've been trying to grow a garden with a wildflower look for years. This preplanned garden was my last gasp and it did not disappoint. I followed the directions and waited and waited but when the time was right, everything bloomed and looked fantastic. In addition, all plants tolerated an eactic Cincinnati summer. . . soaking wet or bone dry. I was happy every day!"
"We ordered this garden as a replacement to our rose bed which had dwindled after many years. It was amazing and filled the whole bed by the end of the summer! It still looks good (not blooming anymore) at the end of November in NJ. My husband and I were very pleased with this garden."
"Consistently high quality plants--exceed expectations"
