Clematis - Bourbon
Clematis - Bourbon Clematis Bourbon, Clematis 'Bourbon™', is a new and exciting compact clematis from Raymond J. Evison. Evison specifically hybridized this prized variety for patio containers! Its compact growth reaches only 3-4 feet tall, which makes it a perfect fit for large patio pots. 'Clematis Bourbon' is equally happy, though, when grown in the ground and allowed to scramble up a small trellis. The large 6 inch flowers are red with bright purple bars in the center of each petal. Flowers rebloom throughout the summer for an incredible display! Clematis 'Bourbon™' needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs, over walls, cover stumps, and make perfect cover ups for unsightly service areas. Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. 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. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. Clematis 'Bourbon™' is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going. * Reliable * Bright flowers * Small climber

Hosta - Remember Me - Sale Price: $39.95 Hosta Remember Me, Hosta 'Remember Me', is named in honor of Sandy De Boer, a former employee of Walters Gardens Inc. who died of breast cancer in 2001. Walters Gardens Inc. makes a donation for every plant sold of 'Remember Me' to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Hosta 'Remember Me' is a beautiful white centered selection of Hosta 'June'. The small mounds of creamy white foliage with blue-green margins make excellent plants for smaller areas or in front of the border. 'Remember Me' demonstrates many of the same outstanding qualities of 'June', like good slug resistance and thick healthy foliage. Lavender flowers add additional beauty to this hosta! 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. 'Remember Me' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Remember Me’ honors not only Sandy, but the thousands of women who fight this life threatening disease every day! * Slug resistance * Thick foliage * Small mounded habit |
