DICENTRA EXIMIA (fern leaf bleeding heart) - height 15", lovely fernlike foliage with delicate cherry-pink blossoms on slender stems for a shady spot or part sun, these are very nice plants that will bloom most of the summer especially if deadheaded, attractive to bees and hummingbirds, would make a lovely ground cover

ECHINACEA PURPUREA 'MAGNUS' (purple coneflower) - height 2-3', sun or part shade, pinkish purple daisy type flowers with dark brown, coned centers, blooms in July, attractive to butterflies and the seeds are attractive to goldfinches

ECHINACEA PURPUREA 'WHITE SWAN' (white coneflower) - height 18-20", full sun, white daisy type flowers for about a month in mid-summer, one of my favorites

EUPHORBIA POLYCHROMA (cushion spurge) - height 1', a mounding plant with yellow flowers in spring and early summer, full sun

GAILLARDIA 'BURGUNDY' (blanket flower) - height 18-30", full sun, burgundy daisy/cone type flowers, these need to be dug up every 2-3 years because the center dies out, remove dead center and replant healthy part of plant, very long blooming plants
