Porteranthus trifoliatus 'Pink Profusion'
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
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-8

Rudbeckia maxima
Rudbeckia maxima
Common Name: great coneflower

Huge powder-blue leaves make up 2' to 3' of basal foliage that is effective all during the growing season. In June and July, towering flower spikes explode with large, deep gold, drooping ray flowers with a black center. A must-have for the butterfly and bird lover! Reliable and deer proof.

Height: 6-7 Feet
Spread: 3 Feet
USDA Hardiness Zone: 5-8
