Known for their striking spherical flowers, #alliums are a favourite not only for their beauty but also for their ability to deter common pests. Did you know these #ornamentalonions are related to kitchen staples like garlic, onions, and chives & some varieties are even edible?

Peonies are a late spring spectacle, but did you know there are several types? Tree Peonies delight early in the season with woody stems & abundant blooms, herbaceous peonies captivate with large flowers that die back each winter & intersectional peonies combine the best of both.
