Grass - Dewey Blue Switch - Sale Price: $64.25 The Switch Grass 'Dewey Blue', Panicum amarum 'Dewey Blue', is a native grass with exceptional color and great practical value. Its bold, blue-gray foliage is very attractive and ideal for infertile, dry, hot, sandy soils. This native spreads slowly by rhizomes, making it an important grass for hillsides and erosion control. The open, graceful, tan flowers appear in the fall and create interest throughout the winter months. It prefers less fertile, drier soils. If the soil is fertile and moist, it may have problems remaining upright. 'Dewey Blue' grass is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution and is very tolerant of high heat and humidity! Plant in spring when the soil is warm, since the roots will grow only in warm soil. Planting too early in the spring may cause the roots to rot. * Colorful * Hot weather plant * Hardy

Stokes Aster - Purple Pixie - Sale Price: $39.95 Stokes Aster Purple Pixie, Stokesia 'Purple Pixie' PPAF, is the first ever dwarf Stoke's aster! At less than 1' tall, this little cutie makes neat and tidy mounds that are perfect for the front of the border. In mid-summer, Stokesia 'Purple Pixie' explodes into color with dozens of large violet-blue flowers followed by sporadic rebloom in the fall. 'Purple Pixie' will do best in a full sun area with morning shade and well-drained soil. It should not stay wet while in dormancy.  Stoke’s Aster is not particular about soil types but they do need to be kept watered. Heavy, wet, always damp soils will cause the crowns to rot. Soils must be well-drained. Use this plant for summer color in beds, borders, or containers. It produces excellent cut flowers. To increase bloom time, deadhead after the first initial flowering. Plants can be cut back to basal foliage after they finish blooming. * Attracts Butterflies * Deer Resistant * Rabbit Resistant

Japanese Honeysuckle - Halliana - Sale Price: $56.95 Japanese Honeysuckle 'Halliana', Lonicera japonica 'Halliana', is the most commonly seen Honeysuckle and is also known as Hall's Honeysuckle. It has whitish-yellow flowers with a delightful fragrance. Hall's Honeysuckles are a very fast growing plant to 15 to 30 feet. When used as a ground cover, they are about 2 feet tall. It produces rampant growth capable of engulfing wire or chain-link fences in just a couple of seasons. It is also a reliable, fragrant evergreen vine for a shade arbor. Excellent for screening or to drape over an unsightly wall or wood fence. Honeysuckle enjoys the full sun, but grows and flowers well in partial shade. Honeysuckle can be cut nearly to the ground in late winter/early spring when it becomes too big; new shoots emerge and growth resumes in the spring. A country-garden standby often trained onto dilapidated outbuildings or into the branches of dead trees. Capable of covering huge amounts of space in a short time, this vine makes a great ground cover on banks and slopes for erosion control. Be aware that is can be quite invasive.
