6. Beyond Pink’d®
Click to display
And now for something completely different: the prettiest pink caryopteris we've ever seen! Coming to us from Gavriel Danziger in Israel, this plant boasts large, glossy, spearmint-green foliage and spires of pure-pink flowers, stacked in neat layers along the stem. It is not quite as hardy as conventional caryopteris, its fast-growing, easy-blooming nature makes it perfect for containers and summer color options in cooler areas.

Goat's BeardAruncus
7. Goatee
Click to display
This finely textured Aruncus hybrid is flower powered! Extremely floriferous for a Goat's Beard, 'Goatee' springs to life with clouds of dense cream flower panicles in early summer. Dissected dark green leaves provide interest before and after bloom. This perennial tolerates a variety of light conditions, going full sun to full shade. More moisture will be needed to keep 'Goatee' looking its best in full sun; plants will be slightly taller in shade.
