(Twinspur)
This floriferous wildflower is native to the mountains of southern Africa and the Cape of South Africa. It is an evergreen perennial with an upright but spreading habit and thin wiry stems covered with small, linear, green leaves. Upright clusters of charming, delicate pink flowers are borne in summertime, but plants will refrain from blooming if temperatures become too hot. Each small, lavender-pink flower is tubular and has two spurs in the rear, which is why it is commonly called twinspur. Each...

(Fringed Bleeding Heart)
Fringed bleeding heart is a wonderful herbaceous perennial native to the eastern United States. Starting in spring - and continuing all summer in cooler climes - clusters of dark pink, heart shaped flowers are displayed above the grayish-green fern-like foliage. Several excellent selections and hybrids are available, including the white-flowered 'Snowdrift'.
Fringed bleeding heart is happiest in a moist shady site, where it will self-sow and naturalize. Use it in a woodland or shady mixed border.

(Firecracker Flower)
Clusters of tubular, multi-colored flowers on a tall, thin stem in early summer is firecracker flower's claim to fame. An herbaceous perennial that grows from a corm (a rounded storage root), it is native to the coastal grasslands and woodland edges of northwestern California and southwestern Oregon. After flowering it needs a warm, dry period for its corms to harden and then foliage to go dormant.
The foliage is yellow-green to medium green and strap-like grassy in form. In late spring to midsummer,...
