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

Clematis - Petit Faucon - DetailsClematis - Petit Faucon - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Petit Faucon, Clematis 'Petit Faucon', is an extraordinary and unique plant with unusual purple-blue flowers and a compact habit. At first the buds open to twisting petals that have bright orange-yellow stamens.  As they mature, the flowers turn to a rich blue around creamy stamens. Even in a hot, dry summer this plant continues to bloom strong! The fluffy white seed heads are beautiful and the combination of deep violet flowers and silvery seed puffs is stunning!   Petit Faucon is an extremely vigorous, free flowering, and strong growing clematis.  Early flowers appear on the previous season's growth while late summer flowers appear on new growth.  Petit Faucon blooms May-June and August-September. 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. It needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs, over walls, and can be used as a container plant. Prune lightly above the new leaf buds in early spring and remove any dead or weak stems. Clematis Petit Faucon is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going. Enjoy this non clinging clematis that blooms until late summer! * Unusual purple-blue flowers * Easy to grow * Extremely vigorous

Bowles Golden Sedge Grass, Carex elata 'Bowles Golden', has dazzling bright gold foliage with narrow green margins that make Carex 'Bowles Golden' really stand out in the garden. The attractive arching habit and its bright foliage color make a great companion plant for Heucheras. This variety thrives in consistently moist soils, and it can also be grown in shallow water at the edge of a garden pond. The more sun, the more color you get in the foliage! It is an excellent choice as a highlight plant for a shade or water garden. Since Carex Bowles Golden is a moisture loving grass, and will grow in shallow water, it looks great around a pond with blue hostas. In northern climates, it should be kept from winter winds and provided with some protection such as snow or straw. If plants look tattered in early spring, cut them back to the ground. The new foliage will quickly fill back in. Add color to your landscape!
