Team Favorites

I love the late summer color of Rudbeckia but I wish it started earlier. If you feel this same way, give 'Tuscan Sun' a try. It is a long bloomer that starts to show color in early summer. Drought tolerant so it will stand up to the heat of the summer. 'Tuscan Sun' is one of thise hard working perennials.

Reviews

Beautiful plant but is almost 3' tall and wide after one season.

Winner

Wonderfully compact Heliopsis. Golden yellow blooms similar to coreopsis and mildew free monarda like foliage. It's a winner in my garden.

Favorite

This is my favorite perennial because of its long season of bloom. It also pops up here and there in my garden, but it is not invasive. I did have a problem with it last year. This plant and only this plant was covered by some kind of insect. I sprayed it and saved the plants, but they were not as nice as other years and the insect kept reappearing. I hope our harsh winter will have killed the insect this year.
