Q&A

Where can I find these new perennials?

You can find some of these new perennials at your local independent garden centers. For more information and to explore the full range, check out Walters Gardens' website.

Are these perennials suitable for my zone?

These perennials have been trialed in North Carolina (Zone 8A), but it's important to consider your specific growing conditions. Some perennials may thrive better in different zones, so it's always a good idea to do your research or consult with local experts.

Do these perennials require full sun or shade?

The light requirements vary depending on the specific perennial. Some, like the Firefly series, prefer full sun, while others, like the Spider's Wort, may do well in both sun and shade. It's best to read the plant tags or do some research to ensure you provide the ideal growing conditions for each plant.

How do perennial salvias attract pollinators?

Perennial salvias have beautiful blue flowers that are irresistible to pollinators, especially butterflies. The flowers provide a large landing pad for butterflies and other pollinators, making them an excellent choice for attracting wildlife to your garden.

Can I grow baptisia in my garden?

Baptisia is a stunning perennial that can thrive in many gardens. However, it's important to give it plenty of space to grow, as its deep root system and mound-like growth pattern require room. Before planting, consider your garden's size and make sure you can accommodate this long-lived and drought-tolerant plant.
