The Hibiscus 'Cecelia', Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Cecelia' (also called China rose and common hibiscus), produces a profusion of large, showy red double flowers, set against a background of dark green foliage. It blooms from spring through fall when planted in a well drained, full sun planting site. 'Cecelia' has blooms that cover this lovely shrub from early summer-fall; lovely when planted in the landscape or large patio pots. It will die down to the roots each year only to return bigger and better in the spring. Apply a layer of organic mulch under plants to prevent moisture loss and weed growth. Water hibiscus when the soil is dry to the touch. The roots must remain constantly moist, but not wet; well-drained soil is key. Prune 'Cecelia' to keep the plant bushy and full of blooms. Pinch off the tips of branches to encourage multiple growth tips further down the stem. The exotic blooms and glossy leaves of 'Cecelia' adds a dramatic accent to temperate gardens. The Cecelia hibiscus is a favorite for butterflies and hummingbirds. The flowers look ideal grown as an accent plant in containers, or near water gardens and ponds.

Phlox - Emerald Pink - DetailsPhlox - Emerald Pink - Sale Price: $39.95
Phlox Emerald Pink, Phlox subulata 'Emerald Pink', ushers in spring with a profusion of fabulous color. This low growing creeping phlox is no taller than 6. Phlox 'Emerald Pink' has a compact habit that is perfect for borders and rock gardens. Mass plantings of 'Emerald Pink' will create a beautiful sea of pink in your garden landscape! Gritty, slightly alkaline soils are preferred and good drainage is essential for 'Emerald Pink'.

During the winter, in cold areas, the plants may die back and recover again in the spring. * Attracts Butterflies * Blooms Late Spring * Deer Resistant

Hosta - Elegans - DetailsHosta - Elegans - Sale Price: $42.75
'Elegans', Hosta sieboldiana, is an extra large hosta with heart-shaped leaves.  Being blue-green in color, it has a heavy, deeply tucked texture with powdery like cast which make it very striking! The white flowers bloom from July to August, and this plant has a height of 30” and a spread of 48-60”.  'Elegans' provides bright color in shade with its colorful textured foliage. Hosta ‘Elegans’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained area.  This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular for landscape uses.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions.  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. 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! 'Elegans' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. This blue-green giant hosta will certainly be outstanding wherever it is planted! * Textured * Heart shaped leaves * Blue-green foliage

It works great at the front of the perennial border, shrub borders, rock gardens, or as an edging plant. Being a dependable long lived perennial, this leadwort ground cover is hard to beat.  It has pretty blue flowers that bloom in late summer; adds interest when other plants begin to fade!  Even the foliage provides color as it turns a gorgeous bronze red later in the fall!  Try planting ‘Plumbago’ with Achillea ‘Moonshine’ and Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’. * Fast growing * Ground cover * Dependable
