Description

Large, spurred flowers with clear colors of white, lavender, yellow, deep red and pink are borne on 2 1/2' plants. The strikingly beautiful blooms make good cut flowers. They require partial shade or full sun, along with well-drained soil. The colors, however, cannot be chosen. -Holland Wildflower Farm

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
