Black-eyed Susan - Herbstonne
The Black-eyed Susan 'Herbstonne', Rudbeckia 'Herbstonne', is a summer blooming perennial with a unique green cone that is surrounded by yellow petals; this giant is the tallest of the Rudbeckia and will grow to 6 feet tall with a 3 foot spread.

Plant in the back of the border with buddleias, Joe Pye Weed, and ornamental grasses. The 2 to 3 wide, showy, golden yellow daisy-like blooms show off from summer until frost; spreads rapidly to cover a large area. It prefers full sun to partial sun in well-drained soil. This hardy perennial is excellent in borders or naturalized gardens. Rudbeckia attracts butterflies, provides food for birds in the winter and is mildew-resistant.

Hosta - Tropical Dancer - DetailsHosta - Tropical Dancer - Sale Price: $42.75
The Hosta Tropical Dancer, Hosta 'Tropical Dancer', puts on a colorful show with its heart-shaped wavy green leaves. These elongated leaves are trimmed with creamy white margins that are tightly ruffled and serrated; margins brighten to white later in the season. Forming a broad showy clump in the garden, ‘Tropical Dancer’ is a strong grower and produces lavender flowers on upright scapes in the summer. 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.  ‘Tropical Dancer’ 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.  With its great form and ruffled, wavy leaves, this  ‘Tropical Dancer’ hosta almost seems to be in motion! * Heart shaped leaves * Clumping habit * Superb grower
