Echinacea 'Lilliput' PPAF forms cute little mounds adorned with numerous deep rose-pink flowers. The foliage height is only 12 inches high, and the flowers top out at a mere 18 inches.

The sturdy stems carry the blossoms from midsummer to fall. The coneflower is known for its large flower heads that turn to seed in the fall. It is a great choice for cut flowers, and it adds a wilderness look to your garden.

Plant this low care plant in an area that receives the right amount of light.

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.

All summer long you'll enjoy hundreds of these exotic flowers, along with the many butterflies, bees and hummingbirds that this plant attracts.

| Dwarf Mondo Grass - Sale Price: $64.25 Ornamental Grass Great for Boarders and Groundcover Dwarf Mondo Grass is an ornamental grass with a summer bloom. It would make a wonderful groundcover or a border in your perennial bed. Your Dwarf Mondo Grass is a grass similar to lawn grass, with a dark green color. As it grows it abandons its erect stance and adopts a rather elegant manner, slightly bowing for a gentle, soft appearance. In the summer tiny blue flowers form, resembling little balls, adding a bit of additional decorative appeal. Dwarf Mondo Grass is a low growing grass that grows to about 4 inches, so if you use it as a lawn substitute keeping it short won’t be a problem, and you won’t spend all your weekends mowing it. It’s drought resistant, so no need to water. Even pests seem to avoid it, eliminating the need for costly pesticides. It also develops a thick mat of roots so planting it against foundations can aid in dealing with water run-off. Two of the enemies of grasses, deer and bunnies, tend to leave it alone, and it can even handle heavy traffic so using it around paving stones would be no problem at all. Dwarf Mondo Grass is durable, hardy grass with ornamental appeal. Try some today to begin enjoying its stellar qualities. * Ornamental* Durable* Deer resistant |
| Daylily - Scentual Sundance - Sale Price: $49.95 The Daylily 'Scentual Sundance', Hemerocallis 'Scentual Sundance', produces clusters of 4 inch golden yellow flowers with a green throat that cover this ever-blooming daylily from June until frost. This daylily has an added bonus beyond its brilliant color and lush foliage, it is wonderfully fragrant! The foliage is broader, with more substance, strength and deeper green color than 'Stella'. Remove old foliage in late fall. 'Scentual Sundance' is a rugged plant and adapts to a wide range of soil and light conditions. It establishes quickly, grows vigorously, and survives winters with little or no injury. Deadheading spent buds and removing old scapes will improve overall look, but not improve plant performance. Individual flowers last only one day, but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last more than a month. Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds; attracts butterflies. Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion. Divide every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline. 'Scentual Sundance' is an outstanding beauty that has it all! Beautiful flowers, lush foliage, and it is wonderfully fragrant! * Fragrant * Long blooming * Durable |
