Symphyotrichum oblongifolium ‘Raydon’s Favorite’, is a standout late-season bloomer that brings a splash of vibrant lavender-blue flowers to the fall garden. Native to the central and eastern U.S., this tough, drought-tolerant perennial forms a tidy, bushy mound and blooms profusely from late summer into frost, providing crucial nectar for pollinators when few other flowers remain. The foliage lives up to its name—crush a leaf, and you’ll notice a pleasant, minty aroma. ‘Raydon’s Favorite’ is often praised for its long bloom time, resistance to mildew, and ability to thrive in poor or rocky soils. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, and makes a beautiful, low-maintenance addition to native plant gardens, borders, or naturalized areas. Bonus: it's also deer-resistant!

Capsicum annuum 'Midnight Fire' is a striking ornamental pepper cultivar celebrated for its deep purple foliage and vibrant, multicolored fruit. Native to Central and South America, Capsicum belongs to the Solanaceae (nightshade) family and includes both ornamental and edible varieties of pepper plants. 'Midnight Fire' produces small, upright peppers that transition from deep purple to orange and finally bright red, creating a fiery contrast against the dark leaves. While the fruits are edible, they are intensely hot and primarily valued for their decorative appeal. Compact and bushy, this variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for containers, borders, and garden accents.  Enjoy the variety of cultivars are on display throughout the gardens!
