Description

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, it’s 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.

The flowers in Summer Showstopper Pre-Planned Garden covers 48 sq ft (6 ft x 8 ft). It includes a garden map, care and planting instructions, and 17 plants:

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 artist’s rendering.

Planting & Care

Planting Care

Planting and Caring for Pre-Planned Gardens & Collections

Soil Preparation: Remember that proper soil preparation is the key to healthy, vigorous blooming perennials. Use Yum Yum Mix and a high quality compost at recommended rates to prepare the soil. Inoculate the plant roots with Plant Success mycorrhizal inoculant.

Planting: Plant according to the mature size of the plant. Don’t be tempted to put the plants too close based on their size in the pots. They’ll need the space to grow and fill in the expected area.

Fertilizing: Once annually in mid-fall, after plants begin to go dormant. Use Yum Yum Mix at recommended rates to improve the soil and provide essential plant nutrients.Use it with high quality compost, mix half and half by volume and spread on top of the soil. Scratch it in lightly and water thoroughly. It is also beneficial to treat the plant roots with Plant Success® mycorrhizal root inoculant if you didn’t do so at planting time. (Inoculation only needs to be done once.)

Mulching: In arid climates mulching is very beneficial. Coarse textured composts, shredded leaves, pine needles and composted bark are all excellent mulch materials. Apply to a depth of 1-2 inches. Replenish annually (or as needed).
