Cyperus ‘Prince Tut’ over an island of Calibrachoa and Heuchera

In case you missed it, we’ve added ‘Prince Tut’ to our line of Cyperus grasses. It snuck in under the radar but it’s an important piece of the Tut puzzle. When you want that fun sparkler-type look, only Tut has it and sometimes ‘King Tut’ is too big and ‘Baby Tut’ is just too small. Here are some ideas on how to use Cyperus this summer.

Rudbeckia ‘Autumn Colors’—a different amount of red in each bloom

‘Autumn Colors’ is such a cool plant—not in the autumn temperatures sense, but in the each-flower-is-a-little-bit-different sense. Every year we see strong sales among the hirta species of Rudbeckia because the flowers are so showy—and on ‘Autumn Colors’ they are particularly eye-catching.

Flowers are about twice the size of the typical Black-Eyed Susan

Celosia makes high design easy with colorful feathery tops

For a jolt of vibrant color to get the summer going, add Celosia to your work. Feathery heads of red, orange, and yellow fire up the landscape and take control of the texture aspect—honestly, a stand of these curious creatures is a thriller all on its own. It’s easy to see these landscapes as very, very large combo designs.

We have plenty of fresh summer plants in stock

Summer does not mean you have to run out of ideas because everyone else has run out of inventory. At Diefenbacher we grow fresh for the summer:

• (A) Crops are specifically grown to do well in the summer heat
