Tut Famly Grasses

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.

Begonia Whopper makes a good topper for larger pottery

Our Whopper Begonias stand up in summer containers. They have strong, sturdy stems to hold their big blooms high where everyone can see them. This is why they always get noticed, even from a great distance.

In addition to serving as summer thrillers and fillers, Whoppers perform another important duty in patio pots and combination planters: their stout stems help components around them to stand up as well. We consider this a win-win.

Whoppers come in Bronze Leaf Red, Green Leaf Red, Bronze Leaf Rose, and Green Leaf Rose. We grow them Fresh for the Summer, so they are young and prime for display work. Available in the 8-inch pot.

Dianthus ‘Amazon Neon Purple’ is featured in one of our Display Gardens

Remember that our ‘Amazon Neon Purple’ is one of the most heat-tolerant Dianthus varieties on the market. This is a tough plant—it can take the cold, rain, and wind of a summer storm too. We tend to think of Dianthus as cool weather color but this eye-popping purple stays fresh looking with new blooms all season long in the summer sun.
