Fernbush   Chamaebatiaria millefolium 

Large spikes of white blooms above airy, fern-like leaves decorate this water-wise Utah native.

Pleasure Rose     Rosa  'JACpif'

Clusters of fully-double, coral pink flowers with lighter undersides bloom continuously and profusely through the summer on this rose.

Iceplant    Delosperma cooperi  

A great choice for a water-wise groundcover, this succulent has almost irradescent, bright pink flowers that attract pollinators and people alike.

Mollie-the-witch    Paeonia mlokosewitschii  

Attractive creamy flowers in the spring lead to bizarre and striking fruits in late summer on this Peony.
