Astilbe - Fanal The Astilbe ‘Fanal’, Astilbe arendsii, is a colorful feathery flower with deep red blooms and lacy deep green or bronze-green foliage. The foliage in spring is mahogany, but as autumn approaches, the blooms turn to shades of brown that look wonderful in winter snowscapes. The flowers contrast wonderfully with the dark green glossy foliage. Astilbe ‘Fanal’ blooms in midsummer and is 24” tall and a plant width of 18-24”. Do not allow Astilbe ‘Fanal’ to dry out. 'Fanal' is most successfully grown in a shady area but can tolerate some morning sun. A moist, well-drained area is a key factor for growing a healthy plant. In order to keep Astilbe looking good for the next year, do not cut it back in the winter, (the old foliage helps protect the plant from winter damage), but prune in early spring. Astilbe is considered to be deer resistant and will attract hummingbirds. Use ‘Fanal’ Astilbe as beautiful cut flowers for a grand bouquet! Plant it in perennial borders or shade gardens with hosta’s and ferns. You will be pleased with the results! * Lacy foliage * Easy to grow * Fall and winter color

Clematis - Bourbon - Sale Price: $42.75 Clematis Bourbon, Clematis 'Bourbon™', is a new and exciting compact clematis from Raymond J. Evison. Evison specifically hybridized this prized variety for patio containers! Its compact growth reaches only 3-4 feet tall, which makes it a perfect fit for large patio pots. 'Clematis Bourbon' is equally happy, though, when grown in the ground and allowed to scramble up a small trellis. The large 6 inch flowers are red with bright purple bars in the center of each petal. Flowers rebloom throughout the summer for an incredible display! Clematis 'Bourbon™' needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs, over walls, cover stumps, and make perfect cover ups for unsightly service areas. Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. Clematis 'Bourbon™' is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going. * Reliable * Bright flowers * Small climber |
