New Perennials for 2024

PERENNIAL PLANTS

Below are some of the more prominent perennials that will be available at Circle H Growers


Allium
Pincushion



This small-scale Allium is perfect tucked along the front of the border. Narrow glaucous blue-green foliage forms a tidy habit until numerous clusters of lavender purple flowers spring up in midsummer, persisting for many weeks. Attractive seedheads remain after flowering has finished. Pincushion is far more floriferous but lacks twisting and curling on the leaves and stems.

Alliums are charming plants for the rock or herb garden. When the foliage is bruised, it smells like onions since they are in the onion family. Butterflies and honeybees adore the flowers' sweet nectar but deer and rabbits steer clear of this perennial beauty.

Aruncus
Goatee



This finely textured Aruncus hybrid is flower powered! Extremely floriferous for a Goat's Beard, Goatee springs to life with clouds of dense cream flower panicles in early summer. Dissected dark green leaves provide interest before and after bloom. This perennial tolerates a variety of light conditions, going full sun to full shade. More moisture will be needed to keep Goatee looking its best in full sun. Plants will be slightly taller in shade.

Though Aruncus tends to be a slow grower the first couple of seasons, once it is established it puts on a fabulous show year after year. Make sure it has plenty of room to grow when you first plant it. Transplanting this species is a very difficult task. This species is native to North America.

Clematis
Stand by Me Pink



Compared with traditional vining clematis, Stand By Me Pink is completely herbaceous and will restart from the ground each year. Flowers will appear profusely beginning in late spring, peaking in early summer, and continuing to show color until fall. Attractive cream thread-like seed heads follow. Broad, green foliage. This plant benefits from staking, cages, or neighboring plants for support.

Echinacea
Double Scoop Strawberry Deluxe



Amazing flower coverage makes a bold statement in landscapes and gardens. These Deluxe varieties bring the branching, flower count and timing of the Sombrero® Series to Double Scoop. More compact with better branching and a higher flower count than the typical double-flowered Echinacea. More reliable first year flowering. A glamorous, deep red color.

Echinacea
Double Scoop Watermelon Deluxe



Amazing flower coverage makes a bold statement in landscapes and gardens. These Deluxe varieties bring the branching, flower count and timing of the Sombrero® Series to Double Scoop. More compact with better branching and a higher flower count than the typical double-flowered Echinacea. More reliable first year flowering. Hot pink with an almost black eye when first opening.

Echinacea
Watermelon Sugar



DOUBLE DIPPED® Echinacea have large, fully double 4½" flowers with wide, overlapping ray petals. Each variety has substantial landscape size at 2-2½' tall, perfect for the middle of the border. Strong, well-branched stems support the large, numerous heavy flowers with ease. Mounded habit of dark green foliage. Best performance comes in full sun and well-drained soils.

Double pompom flowers open magenta pink before maturing to a medium pink. Flowers are produced over a large rosette of foliage with almost no exposed stem.

Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.

Iris
Purring Tiger



Dusty lavender flowers sit above golden yellow petals. The golden yellow petals are lined with purple veining that matches the heart of the flower. Purring Tiger is compact for Siberian Iris, standing about a foot and half tall. Expect this midseason bloomer to roar to life as it flowers in early summer.

Siberian irises are hailed for their elegant, delicate flowers and disease resistance. They perform admirably in the sunny to partially shady garden, but need plenty of water throughout the season to continue looking their best. In naturalized settings, they are particularly effective around water features. They can also be grown under Black Walnut trees since they are not effected by juglone. Siberian Irises bloom before Japanese Irises but after Tall Bearded Irises.

Hosta
Old Yeller



The first introduction from Noah Schwartz of Michigan, and with a name like Old Yeller, it is destined to be loved by all. Noah crossed Mira x Zounds and ended up with this vigorous grower featuring broad, heavy leaves with lots of tightly spaced, deeply imprinted veins. Given afternoon shade, the color stays bright yellow all summer. Hosta Old Yeller quickly grows into a mound about 14-16" tall and 24" across that blooms with fertile, light lavendar flowers. PPAF
