Pops of periwinkle, fuchsia and faded yellow are sure to be a hit in any garden, and these flowers provide the perfect backyard backdrop for a breezy afternoon in the hammock, or an evening under the solstice.

Over the years, it has expanded to three locations and currently employs more than 650 staff members. Take a peek at some of their sun-loving perennials and annuals.
