Spidflfl Flflflflfl
(Cleome hasslerana)

This dwarf-to-soaring annual in
white, pink, or lilac delights each
year. For repeat blooms, check
when buying to ensure seeds
are not sterile. Sprinkle
seeds directly into soil.


‘Villfl dfl Lyfln’ Clflmatifl
(Clematis ‘Ville de Lyon’)
Clematis is a prolific climber
with magenta flowers that have
pale yellow stamens. Prune
it in early spring just above
buds that are a few inches
from the ground. å

Tflflpical Hibiflcufl
(Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)
A fast-growing annual that
thrives in warm weather,
it is ideally grown in pots
so it can be overwintered
indoors. Or you can just
replace it each year.

‘Silk Rflad’ Lily
(Lilium ‘Silk Road’)
This Orienpet lily has 8-inch
flowers on 4- to 6-foot-tall
stems. Plant it in a sunny spot
that has good drainage and
is shaded by the leaves
of neighboring plants.
