5 Tahitian Sunset rose

ROSA, ZONES 6 TO 9

This award-winning rose features licorice-scented,

multicolored blooms in a mix of yellow, apricot

and pink that become more intensely colored in

the sun. Keep deadheading for flowers all summer

long. Tahitian Sunset grows up to 5 feet tall and 3 to

4 feet wide.

Why we love it: It’s a hybrid tea rose with lush,

healthy foliage and good blackspot resistance.

7 Callie Orange

Sunrise calibrachoa

CALIBRACHOA, ANNUAL

Growing just 4 to 8 inches

tall, this Callie’s trailing

habit makes it versatile

enough to edge a border,

fill in a container or star

in a hanging basket. For

subtle color variations,

mix this heat tolerant

flower with other

Callie calibrachoas in

complementary orange

and apricot hues.

Why we love it:

From spring to fall,

this orange stunner adds

welcome pops of color to

sunny spots.

6 Peachie Keen

anise hyssop

AGASTACHE, ZONES 6 TO 9

Be keen in the garden

and kind to pollinators.

This brightly hued

bloomer accomplishes

both. It’s loaded with

apricot-peach flowers

paired with purplish

pink caly x—magnets

for hummingbirds, bees

and butterflies. This

perennial is 2 feet tall

and is often grown as an

annual in colder climates.

Why we love it:

Peachie Keen has a more

refined shape than other

types of agastache.

8 Totally Tangerine avens

GEUM, ZONES 4 TO 7

Avens, also known as geum, is a gem

that deserves more attention—and

Totally Tangerine knows how to

attract it. Orange-peach flowers rise

above mounded foliage from late spring

through midsummer. Cool weather

and deadheading improve flowering.

Why we love it: It’s one of the largest

geums and takes anything from full sun

to part shade.

peachy, rosy or salmon hues. According to Proven Winners, which developed the series,

all that the plants need to thrive is full sun, well-draining soil and adequate fertilizer.
