The System for Success
We call Northern Sunset ... the Colors of Success. The beautiful sunset colors of the Northern Sunset labeling system will help you place the right plant in the right place, enabling you to achieve gardening success.
The Colors of Success consists of four components: the label system, soil, selection, and size.
The Label System
The Northern Sunset label system starts with the background color of the label. The background color indicates the plants preferred light condition.
Perhaps the journey is the reward. The act of selecting just the right plant and placing it in just the right place, then tenderly caring for your new acquisition, gives you satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment, or, an excuse for puttering about.
Icon Bar
We have icons that describe a wide variety of information. Here are examples of the icons you may find along with their meanings.
Special Awards
In addition to the label system, three vital components to gardening success are Soil, Selection and Sizes of the plants. Learn about those now...
Our nursery complies with the Invasive Species Voluntary Code of Conduct for Nursery Professionals.
Since you have found your way to Northern Sunset Perennials we assume you enjoy gardening in some form or another. As a gardener, what is important to you? Do you want to enjoy a pleasant, woodland retreat or quiet corner where you can get away to read a book? Or do you want a wild and wonderful display for all to see? Our labels indicate the light preference of all our plants. This way you'll know if the plant you want likes the sun, the shade or something in-between.
Northern Sunset labels contain extensive information that will let you make an informed decision. Below the photograph on the label is an icon bar that indicates the plants water requirements, and special uses such as cut flower, butterfly plant and ground cover. You'll put the right plant in the right place every time. 
Here is an example of an icon bar. This plant attracts butterflies, is a ground cover that will spread to cover bare ground, thrives in part sun/part shade, and needs well-drained soil.
Special awards are indicated on the photograph such as "Perennial Plant of the Year" or "All-America Selection". These logos indicate award-winning selections that have been chosen for special qualities or attributes. These logos may help you to decide between two varieties you may be considering. Also, look for the Native, Naturally! Logo, indicating those plants native to the Midwest.
Northern Sunset Perennials are locally grown and hardy to zone 4b. They are "Something Special from Wisconsin".
Back of the Label
The back of the label is full of cultural information like height, spread, soil preferences, bloom time and uses. Just about anything you would want to know about that plant in a nutshell.
put our perennials in the right place for gardening success!
