What We're Growing
in Our Own Gardens

Every week the staff pins their honest picks to the board. No upsell — just what we're actually excited about right now.

Deep purple Caradonna salvia spikes growing in a sunny garden border

Salvia nemorosa "Caradonna"

"Caradonna has the deepest purple spikes I've grown in twelve years here. Put it where it gets afternoon sun and come back in July — it'll stop you in your tracks."

Full sun · Zone 4–8 · Drought tolerant once established

Husker Red penstemon with dark burgundy foliage and white flower spikes

Penstemon digitalis "Husker Red"

"Husker Red is the one I hand to anyone who says they kill everything. Dark burgundy foliage all season, white flowers in June, native, deer-resistant. It wants to live."

Full–part sun · Zone 3–8 · Very low maintenance

Large golden Indian Summer black-eyed susan rudbeckia flowers in afternoon light

Rudbeckia hirta "Indian Summer"

"If you only plant one thing this summer, make it this. Eight-inch blooms from July to frost, seeds the goldfinches through October. It pays you back in every season."
