The large 5 flowers are light orange with a rose colored halo and orange cone. A member of the Big Sky™ series, and one of the most popular varieties we offer, it is appropriately name since this new echinacea resembles the colors of a romantic summer evening sky! It is known to hold its stunning flower color longer than other coneflowers. The flowers are held on very stout stems and make an exciting cut flower. For best results, plant in full sun in a well drained area. Echinacea 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. Not only is it a prized perennial for many gardeners, but it is also said to be a potent medicine. Echinacea is said to increase immune function, reduce the effects of cold and flu, and fight off viral, bacterial and fungal infections. This plant adapts to drought, moist soil, heat, humidity and poor soil. Coneflowers do double duty when it comes to benefiting wildlife. The new flowers provide nectar for butterflies and other pollinators, while old flowers provide seed for songbirds. 'Summer Sky' is a prolific bloomer with a heavenly scent, so plant it where you can enjoy its color as well as its fragrance! * Stout stems * Heat and humidity tolerant * Bicolor flowers

| Daylily - Montego Melonâ„¢ - Sale Price: $42.75 The Daylily 'Montego Melon', Hemerocallis 'TP 06-13', is an early-blooming daylily with soft yellow blooms on a more compact plant. Because of its long bloom season, and multiple flowering cycles, this daylily is perfect for mass plantings and perennial beds! The compact grass-like foliage is rust resistant and matures to 15-18 inches, so it is considered a low growing daylily. This rugged, adaptable, vigorous perennial endures in a garden for many years with little or no care. Daylilies adapt to a wide range of soil and light conditions. They establish quickly, grow vigorously, and survive winters with little or no injury. 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. Divide 'Montego Melon' every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline; divide in early spring. Plant daylilies in sites that provide well-drained soil and plenty of sun. The 'Montego Melon' daylily can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone). Use 'Montego Melon' daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds. Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies! * Vigorous grower * Rugged * Rebloomer |
