Arkansas Blue Star (Amsonia hubrectii)
A perennial native to the South-Central United States, Arkansas Blue Star is truly a showstopper with its three-season display including
beautiful blue flowers in the spring, feathery, fin-textured foliage in summer, and vibrant yellow fall color. For high impact,
plant in groups of three or more with a backdrop of taller evergreens, ornamental grasses, or plants with burgundy foliage. Once
established, this perennial is drought and deer tolerant. It grows to about three feet tall and wide. Prune back in
the spring to allow room for new shoots.

Lenten Rose (Helleborus orientalis)
Lenten Rose is known for its early and prolonged bloom time, which in milder climates begins in winter and continues through mid-spring.
Not a true rose, the plant is actually a member of the Buttercup family but is named so because the flower buds resemble a tightly gathered rose bud
about to blossom. Lenten Rose requires partial to full shade and regular watering in well draining soil. Shade helps to uphold
the vivid colors of the plant’s leaves and petals. This plant is considered toxic to humans, causing mild skin irritations if handled for
long periods of time without garden gloves; however, it is an excellent deer repellent.

Miss Huff Lantana (Lantana camara)
Atlanta loves Lantana! Like all varieties, perennial favorite Miss Huff Lantana attracts beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds; has fragrant
foliage; and is heat and drought tolerant. Small trumpet-shaped flowers on a single stem are abundant and require no dead
heading. Based on the maturity of the flower, blooms are pink, orange or yellow, giving it a multi-colored appearance.
This shrub-like plant can reach five- to six-feet tall and ten feet wide, so it’s best to give it plenty of growing space. Miss
Huff Lantana will die back after the first frost, but pruning is not recommended until early spring to ensure winter survival.
