A vibrant, wildlife-friendly garden overflowing with color — from tropical cannas and fragrant roses to pollinator-magnet perennials — all season long.

A true wildlife sanctuary, the Birdhouse Garden draws hummingbirds to the Wine and Roses Weigela and bees to the vibrant Razzberry Bee Balm, while bold tropical accents — Bengal Tiger Canna Lily, standard Canna, and Tea Cup Elephant Ear — deliver exotic drama through the summer. Seven rose varieties including the climbing Kiss Me Kate, fragrant Memorial Day, and festive Candy Cane Cocktail provide wave after wave of blooms, underplanted with three Veronica Speedwells, Coral Bells Heuchera, and classic Lamb's Ear. Anna's Magic Ball Arborvitae anchors the bed with golden evergreen structure year-round, while Stella de Oro and Rosy Returns Daylilies keep the color going right up to frost.
