Agapanthus 'Stevie's Wonder'

Agapanthus ‘Stevie's Wonder’—loosely held balls of blue perched high

Isn’t it lovely? ‘Stevie’s Wonder’ is ready to party if you need to make a splash for Independence Day festivities. These big violet-blue blooms look like a fireworks display, perched up high on tall, 3-foot stems. They’d be great in an oversized planter around the pool for a dramatic summer spectacle.

Each cluster is a tight set of small, lily-like flowers

If you like ‘Blackie’ but need a tighter package, choose Ipomoea ‘Bright Ideas Black’

Our charming new Bright Ideas Ipomoea delivers the lovely, trailing sweet potato vine look in an extra compact package. These plants have a short, mounded habit that stays within a foot of the crown. They grow only about 6 inches tall and are well behaved—still great for containers, but also able to fit into smaller landscape designs that traditional Ipomoea would overwhelm.

• ‘Bright Ideas Black’ has a striking dark black leaf that contrasts nicely with other colorful plants. It comes in the 1801 flat and the 6-inch pot.
• ‘Bright Ideas Red’ is a dramatic deep maroon. It comes in the 1801 flat and the 4.5-inch pot.
• ‘Bright Ideas Lime’ has the popular bright lime green/chartreuse leaf. This variety is available in the 1801 flat, 4.5-inch and 6-inch pot sizes.

‘Bright Ideas Lime’ offers light green on the same compact plant
