Blanket of Color Ground Cover Mix
A balanced blend of compact annuals and perennials provide a continuous color show with low maintenance. Warm shades of yellows, golds, orange, some reds, all embraced in white.

The BLANKET OF COLOR will create depth where space is limited, with variety for interest at close inspection. Low enough to function as a lawn or as a permanent ground cover.

Height: 6-12 in. 36.00 per lb.
Marvin Gardens
This low growing annual and perennial wildflower mixture reaches only 1-2 feet in height. A sophisticated blend that can substitute for the beauty of a meadow in a small area. Use as a border for any unused portion of the garden.

Height: 1-2 ft 30.00 per lb.
High Desert Flower/Shrub Mixture
Control wind erosion by providing a ground cover that blends with the native chaparral. Mostly annual flowers for first year color plus quick-establishing perennials, all needing only one mowing a year. Plant in the spring, irrigate the first summer to establish. Additional irrigation will prolong the blooming period.

To be added for aesthetic balance: Achnatherum speciosum, Desert Needlegrass

Height: 3 ft. 28.00 per lb.
