Barren Strawberry
Barren Strawberry The Barren Strawberry', also known as Waldsteinia ternata, is a wonderful ground cover that grows in full sun to part shade and prefers normal to sandy soils. It has dark, dense, evergreen, strawberry-like foliage that forms into nice mounds with a height of 4-6. This plant spreads by runners and can cover a space relatively quickly. 'Barren Strawberry' bears yellow flowers in spring and then shows warm, yellow colors in autumn. This plant looks great when combined with Veronica 'Royal Candles', Saliva 'Marcus' and grasses. Getting its name from its strawberry-like growth habit, it adapts to most soil types and tolerates drought quite well. ‘Barren Strawberry’ can be used to colonize banks, or use as an alternative evergreen ground cover or edging plant. * Ground cover * Drought tolerant * Spreading

| Ligularia - Brit Marie - Sale Price: $42.75 The Ligularia Brit Marie Crawford, Ligularia dentate ‘Brit Marie’, is a wonderful yellow-orange, daisy-like flower with huge glossy maroon foliage that remains dark for most of the season. (This plant was first discovered by Britt-Marie Crawford in Fife, Scotland.) ‘Brit Marie’ is a clump-forming herbaceous perennial that is grown not only for its showy purple-black leaves, but also for its summer display of bold daisy-like orange-yellow flowers! The foliage can be rounding, kidney-shaped, or triangular with a wavy margin. The flowers appear on tall spikes and bloom from July to August. ‘Brit Marie’ has a plant height of 3-4’ and a spread of 36-48”. Ligularia should be planted in full shade in a well-drained area.

| Hosta - Wide Brim - Sale Price: $99.95 The Hosta ‘Wide Brim’ has a deep blue-green center with very wide, irregular margins of cream with gold tints at maturity, making it very striking. The lavender flowers bloom from July to August, however, hostas are not known only for their flowers. With this plant having a height of 20” and a spread of 32-36”, ‘Wide Brim’ hosta provides bright color in shade with its wonderful foliage. 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. ‘Wide Brim’ is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 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. Due to its versatility and ease of care, along with its striking mounded form, ‘Wide Brim’ is a favorite of landscape designers! * Slug resistance * Clumping habit * Appealing foliage |
| Clematis - Sweet Autumn - Sale Price: $56.45 Clematis - Sweet Autumn, Clematis maximowicziana, is a deciduous vine with a rampant growth habit and reaches 10' to 20' high.

Give direct sun to encourage their large, showy blooms, but it will tolerate some shade. Sweet Autumn attaches to supports with twining leafstalks, and it will climb up trellises, walls, poles, trees and over shrubs. * Rampant growth habit * Fragrant * Tolerates some shade |

This plant can withstand thin soils and excessive heat and cold. This deer resistant plant is excellent for erosion control on steep banks! |
