Published on
June 3rd, 2022

This collection features a fun mix of shade perennials along with a beautiful Redbud Tree. We love the contrast between foliage colors in this grouping! You could also add other varieties of Coral Bell for different color combos as well. And remember, good soil, compost, mulch and plant start create healthier, more successful plants!
