Astilbe - Rheinland
The Astilbe ‘Rheinland’, Astilbe japonica, has striking tall, feathery blooms of clear pink that rise above the foliage, adding a light, airy quality.  It has mid green foliage, changing to green in the spring.  The flowers contrast wonderfully with the glossy foliage. Astilbe ‘Rheinland’ blooms in midsummer and is 24” tall and has a plant width of 18”. Do not allow Astilbe ‘Rheinland’ to dry out since it prefers moist, humusy, organically rich soils.  It is most successfully grown in a shady area, but can tolerate some morning sun. A moist, well-drained area is a key feature 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. ‘Rheinland’ Astilbe can be used as cut flowers to make grand bouquets.   Plant this showy perennial for beautiful summer color in shady areas.   You will be delighted to see how this plant forms a graceful perennial border, or add to shade gardens with hosta’s and ferns! * Feathery blooms * Showy * Shade

Grass - Variegated Feather Reed - DetailsGrass - Variegated Feather Reed - Sale Price: $29.95
Grass - Variegated Feather Reed, Calamagrostis acutiflora 'Overdam', displays white and green leaves, and its smaller size makes it more refined than 'Karl Forester'. In some ways, it is even more pleasing than its big brother, Karl. It has medium blade width and flowers in June through July. It will most likely remain upright throughout the winter. Variegated Feather Reed does well in heavy clay soils, unlike many of the other ornamental grasses. It provides an excellent vertical accent for borders and for narrow spaces in the landscape. It is also effective in moist low spots or on pond/stream banks. With ample moisture it will do well in full sun, but likes a little shade in hot climates. Variegated Feather Reed works well as a specimen, or incorporated into a border and makes a good low screen, especially in somewhat shady areas. Use as a backdrop for roses and other perennials. It should be cut back in early spring, just before the new growth starts. Create your own dried arrangement, because this grass does make a wonderful display for your favorite vase or basket! * Variegated * Accent plant

Hosta - Autumn Frost - DetailsHosta - Autumn Frost - Sale Price: $42.75
The Hosta Autumn Frost, Hosta 'Autumn Frost', is derived from a line of champion hostas.  It is a sport of First Frost, which in turn is a sport of the champion of blue hosta, Halcyon! A showier version of First Frost, ‘Autumn Frost’ has leaves that emerge a frosty blue but have” extra wide” bright yellow margins; then these margins lighten to a creamy white during summer. ‘Autumn Frost’ forms a medium sized mound and is a standout in any garden area.  With unbeatable curb appeal, ‘Autumn Frost’ is a low care perennial that is ideal for tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular for landscape uses.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! Beautiful lavender flowers appear in mid to late summer and attract hummingbirds.  Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.  High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! You will be very pleased with the mounding habit, striking foliage, and easy care of ‘Autumn Frost’! * Low maintenance * Showy * Shade lover

Grass - Cabaret Maiden - DetailsGrass - Cabaret Maiden - Sale Price: $28.95
The Grass 'Cabaret' Maiden, Miscanthus sinensis var. conden satus 'Cabaret', is one of the most outstanding new Miscanthus selections! This plant tends to be a bit floppy and graceless in flower, but the foliage effect is grand! This outstanding grass has wide, ribbon-like foliage with a creamy white center and dark green margins. The late season plumes emerge a wonderful coral pink to purple before changing to tan. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other garden plants with finer foliage. This ornamental grass will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best cleaned up in early spring, before it resumes active growth for the season. Grow in average to moist conditions; do not allow drying out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. ‘Cabaret' can be used in large containers but in cold areas the pots will need to be sunken during winter to protect the roots from freezing. * Variegated * Container plant * Pink/Purple flowers

Hosta - Silver Bay - DetailsHosta - Silver Bay - Sale Price: $39.95
Hosta Silver Bay, Hosta 'Silver Bay', is one of the best new blue hostas on the market, and one of the most talked about hostas in recent years!   The heart-shaped, intense, silver blue leaves form an attractive mound.  The leaves are also thick and heavily corrugated.  Pale lavender flowers top the mound in mid-late summer.  'Silver Bay' is a real winner! 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.  'Silver Bay' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Silver Bay' has a great spread of 2-3 feet, filling in your shaded space very nicely; a special plant that should be planted in a very special place! * Blue hosta * Easy to grow * Mounding habit

Daylily - Dragon's Eye - DetailsDaylily - Dragon's Eye - Sale Price: $56.95
Daylily Dragon's Eye, Hemerocallis 'Dragon's Eye', has a name that says it all! Hemerocallis 'Dragon's Eye' has a bold red eye zone which extends halfway onto the petals to create a dramatic look.  The petals of the 4 flowers are exquisitely ruffled with a thin rose-red edge. To top it off, the bloom power of this hybrid is spectacular.  Each scape produces an average of 24 or more buds for a continuous show of color in midsummer. This variety is also known for excellent rebloom in late summer, which extends the bloom season.  One of the best eyed daylilies on the market today!  Daylilies are some of the easiest plants to grow and are a good choice for any gardener.  They thrive in full sun or light shade and tolerate many types of soil.  In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust; daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot. Use for stand alone plantings, edging, in borders or in mixed containers and tubs.  Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover. Because it blooms all summer, has gorgeous color, and an attractive, clumping foliage, ‘Chicago Orchid’ is a pleasure to have in any garden! * Blooming power * Dramatic and exquisite
