Ajuga - Dixie Chip
Ajuga Dixie Chip, Ajuga 'Dixie Chip' PPAF, has green, cream, and rose-purple variegated foliage that will create a spectacular display for your garden when planted in mass. In mid to late spring, violet blue flowers appear above the low spreading foliage. 'Dixie Chip' PPAF is a petite variegated Ajuga. It forms a tight habit, making it useful for erosion control on slopes and also as a weed suppressing ground cover for the landscape. It is relatively carefree; however, it can be invasive. Ajuga 'Dixie Chip' will do best in a shaded area but will adapt to morning sun.  It prefers moist soil with a good drainage but will tolerate moderately dry areas. Do avoid soggy conditions. This Ajuga looks great in rock gardens, as a border plants, in mass plantings and is great for preventing erosion. Butterflies and hummingbirds are defiantly attracted to Ajuga, not to mention being deer resistant and a low allergen. If you are looking for a perennial ground cover to exceed in a hard to grow shady area, Ajuga is the way to go! * Carefree * Erosion control * Ground cover

Hosta - Regal Splendor - DetailsHosta - Regal Splendor - Sale Price: $56.95
Hosta Regal Splendor, Hosta 'Regal Splendor', is a stunning sport of Hosta 'Krossa Regal'.  It demonstrates the same upright vase shaped habit as 'Krossa Regal', but the frosty blue leaves are edged with a creamy yellow margin.  This very elegant looking host provides tall stems of lavender flowers that appear in August. 'Regal Splendor' received the 2003 American Hosta Growers Group Hosta of the Year.  Once it has matured, 'Regal Splendor' is definitely one of the most beautiful hostas in the garden! Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.  Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  Plant this low care plant in an area that receives the right amount of light.  The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves.  'Regal Splendor' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. Once the 'Regal Splendor' has matured into its very elegant famous vase-shaped form, it may become your favorite hosta!  * Upright habit * Vase shaped form * Elegant
