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

Hosta - Ripple Effect - DetailsHosta - Ripple Effect - Sale Price: $42.75
The Hosta Ripple Effect, Hosta 'Ripple Effect’, has plenty of bright color that will attract everyone's attention!  Ripple Effect is a unique hosta that is a sport of ‘June’. It produces long, twisted, and narrow gold leaves that have a “ripple” effect.  When the new leaves emerge, they have narrow blue-green margins that blend nicely toward their golden yellow centers.   The foliage makes a transition in the summer: to chartreuse with green margins.  Having lots of appeal, this low horizontal mounding hosta displays its lavender flowers in the summer, rising above its unique foliage. 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.  'Ripple Effect’ is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Ripple Effect’ is a unique hosta and has lots of appeal so it will attract attention wherever it is planted! * Twisted and rippled leaves * Horizontal mounding * Mounded 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

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
