Aster cordifolius

Clouds of blue flowers in early fall in shade! A great naturalizer under trees, at the edge of woods, or as a filler among Hostas and Astilbes, which look pretty rough by September. Found in woods and dry meadows. |
Height: 2-3 Feet
Spread: 2-3 Feet
USDA Hardiness Zone: 3-8

Ceratostigma plumbaginoides
Common Name: plumbago, leadwort
Brilliant blue flowers with striking red calyces cover bright green foliage from mid-summer to fall, when the leaves turn deep red. A wonderful groundcover, it is a great choice for beds of spring bulbs because it emerges late, as the bulb foliage declines.

Porteranthus trifoliatus 'Pink Profusion'
Common Name: Bowman's root
We've been enjoying this great native for many years in our garden, since it was given to us by the Mt. Cuba Center in 2001. 'Pink Profusion' has clear pink flowers that are held daintily above reddish leaves on deep red stems. The best part is the way the flowers shimmer in a light breeze, as though they will take flight at any moment. |
Height: 24-30 Inches
Spread: 24-30 Inches
