Ballerina Tulip

Lily-flowered tulip with pointed petals in vivid tangerine. Sweetly orange-scented and one of the longest-blooming tulips you can plant.

Calendula

Bright daisy-like blooms in pumpkin orange and gold. Edible petals brighten salads and the plant keeps blooming through cool weather.

Succulent-leaved sun lover with silky rose-like blooms that thrives where pavement, rock, or sand defeats everything else.
