Pioneer Day Edition
Submitted: July 20, 2025, 2:34 p.m.
It’s almost Pioneer Day — and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a visit to the Garden.
Skip the fireworks and parades (or at least add to them) with a stroll among flowers that are blazing their own trails. These bold, blooming beauties are putting on the real show this week.
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Fire King')
Bright, bold, and ready to steal the show — this daylily lives up to its fiery name.
Blue Satin® Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Blue Satin')
With surprisingly blue blooms, this shrub brings deep color and summer-long style.
Color Coded® One in a Melon (Echinacea 'One in a Melon')
This perennial is a melon-hued magnet for pollinators.
Cobaea Beardtongue (Penstemon cobaea)
The light purple flowers look almost too big to be real!
Visit the Garden and celebrate Pioneer Day the floral way!
