Coneflower - Tomato Soup
Echinacea Tomato Soup (Coneflower), Echinacea 'Tomato Soup', is the brightest red Echinacea yet and quite the attention-grabber; blooms are 3.5” across and have a strong spicy fragrance. Because 'Tomato Soup' is well-branch and vigorous, it produces more blooms than others and offers many new possibilities for garden combinations! It is a long lasting flower that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds and is great in cut flower arrangements!  The bright, red intense flowers are supported on strong stems; best if grouped or massed. This Echinacea will present a season full of red daisy-like flowers and is praised for its prolonged blooming after other perennials have faded. Divide clumps when they become overcrowded (about every 4 years.  'Tomato Soup' usually reblooms without deadheading, but if spent flowers are removed, this procedure will encourage continued beautiful blooms and improves general appearance.  This plant is deer resistant. If you leave some spent blooms on the plants in fall their seeds provide winter food for birds.  You can enjoy the dried seed heads as well, because they will provide architectural interest in the winter. Enjoy 'Tomato Soup' and its bright tomato red blooms that will scream summer, especially when combined with bright purples and all shades of yellow! * Spicy fragrance * Hardy * Heat and humidity tolerant

Lavender - Hidcote - DetailsLavender - Hidcote - Sale Price: $32.95
The Lavender 'Hidcote', Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote', is a dwarf variety that is a compact grower and reaches 18-24 inches tall.  It produces fragrant spikes of dark purple flowers in summer.  These flowers produce the purest lavender scent! Being drought tolerant, it is ideal as a short perennial shrub border or as an herb in a kitchen garden.  Lavender was selected in 1999 as the International Herb Association Plant of the Year! This plant is great for hedges and edging because 'Hidcote' has a more erect and compact habit.  It boasts 2½-inch, linear, downy leaves on strong stems.   The leaves open white, then turn a pale gray-blue-green color.  This Lavender grows in a well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil in an open, sunny spot.  For better drainage, add sand in the hole when first planting this lavender. Trim back in spring to encourage bushier growth; also deadhead after flowering. The sweetest scent of all lavender, it is also the most cold hardy, and it should be pruned back the first year. If you want dried flowers,  pick when showing color but before fully open; tie in bunches and hang in a cool, airy place. One of the most famous of all herbs, 'Hidcote' is used most often in sachets in the home  and for perfumes! * Dwarf * Cold hardy * Pale gray, blue-green foliage

Sedum - Lemon Drop - DetailsSedum - Lemon Drop - Sale Price: $49.95
Sedum Lemon Drop, Sedum 'Lemon Drop', is a neat little plant for rock gardens or as a ground cover. This selection has nice succulent green leaves and bright yellow flowers that appear in late summer and fall. The sprays of the bright yellow flowers are held just above the foliage on this easy-to-grow plant. Lemon Drop hugs the ground and may reach just 6 inches in height, but has a 12 inch spread. It is best to apply a thin layer of compost each spring, followed by a 2-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and control weeds. Lemon Drop needs extra watering during the summer if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week. Choose an area where the plant will receive sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. After the first killing frost, the stems should be cut back to an inch or two above soil line. * Frosted green leaves* Dwarf plant* Hardy

Clematis - Bonanza - DetailsClematis - Bonanza - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Bonanza, Clematis 'Bonanza™', is a newly developed clematis and part of The Festoon Collection.  This new Evison/Poulsen clematis is extremely free flowering from late June through September. The flowers of ‘Bonanza’ are mauve-blue with pale yellow anthers and are 3 in size.  Do not underestimate the flower power of this variety because of the smaller flower size! Bred for excellent disease resistance, this 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. 'Bonanza' Clematis 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. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. This clematis is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two for it to get going! * Reliable * Flower power * Climber
