Astilbe - Visions in Red
Astilbe - Visions in Red The Astilbe Chinensis Visions in Red PP#119, 'Chinensis Visions', produces rusty maroon red flowers that are tinted with a faint rosy tone that is ever-changing as the flower plume matures throughout the spring. The spectacular upright rigid plumes grow on amazingly sturdy stems. The ‘Visions in Red’ plumes offer a striking contrast against the coarsely textured, blue-green foliage. These spring blooming beauties are ideal for borders, containers, and gardens on the edge of woodlands. Astilbe is admired for its attractive foliage and elegant flower plumes. The summer lacy deep green foliage adds a ferny texture to garden beds long after the blooms have faded. For maximum color and impact, mass ‘Red Visions’ astilbe in groups in partly shaded gardens Astilbe needs well drained, but moist and highly organic soil; humusy forest gardens are a perfect example of where these plants will thrive. Drifts of this ‘Visions in Red’ Astilbe are stunning as the deep red buds open purplish-red. Pair with other white blooming shade plants like Japanese Orchids or Peonies. * Upright plumes * Attractive foliage * Easy to grow

| Hosta - Regal Supreme - Sale Price: $42.75 The Hosta Regal Supreme, Hosta 'Regal Supreme', displays its wavy, attractive frosty blue leaves on an upright vase-shaped plant. Each leaf has a wide creamy yellow margin. As the summer progresses, the leaves’ colors change to blue-green with wide, creamy white margins. This exciting hosta is topped by lavender flowers in mid through late summer on very tall scapes; hummingbirds will come often to visit! 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.
