Daisy - Becky Shasta
The Daisy 'Shasta' Leucanthemum ‘Becky Daisy’, leucanthemum superbum, is the longest blooming daisy in the Leucanthemum family! With bright, large, white beautiful flowers held above its dark green foliage, this plant has a height of 3’ and a spread of 18-24”.  Being Perennial of the Year in 2003, one can see why. ‘Becky Daisy’ blooms from July to September, and if deadheaded, the blooming time will be extended. This daisy should be grown in full sun, but can tolerate some afternoon shade, in well-drained soil.  It will not tolerate excessive moisture or wet soil in the winter. Water ‘Becky Daisy’ plants weekly when rainfall is less than an inch, and remove faded flower heads to encourage more blooms. Combine ‘Becky Daisy’ with Veronica “Royal Candles”, Perovskia ‘Russian Sage’ or Scabiosa “Butterfly Blue”.  It also is great for formal and informal gardens, as cut flowers, in mass plantings or in the perennial border. This low maintenance perennial is great for first time gardeners.  ‘Becky Daisy’ will easily add beauty and sunshine to any sunny spot in your garden! * Easy to grow * Dark green foliage * Long Blooming

Clematis Will Goodwin, Clematis 'Will Goodwin', displays lovely lavender-blue flowers with attractive heavily ruffled edges. The large 7 flowers change from lavender-blue to light-blue with age; beautiful flower color and form! Will Goodwin reblooms in early autumn and was awarded Royal Horticulture Award of Garden Merit.

Prune lightly above the new leaf buds in early spring and remove any dead or weak stems. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, but will thrive and bloom in shade.  Apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine.

Hosta - Silver Bay - DetailsHosta - Silver Bay - Sale Price: $39.95
Hosta Silver Bay, Hosta 'Silver Bay', is one of the best new blue hostas on the market, and one of the most talked about hostas in recent years!   The heart-shaped, intense, silver blue leaves form an attractive mound.  The leaves are also thick and heavily corrugated.  Pale lavender flowers top the mound in mid-late summer.  'Silver Bay' is a real winner! 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.  'Silver Bay' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Silver Bay' has a great spread of 2-3 feet, filling in your shaded space very nicely; a special plant that should be planted in a very special place! * Blue hosta * Easy to grow * Mounding habit

Astilbe - Color Flash - DetailsAstilbe - Color Flash - Sale Price: $42.75
Astilbe Color Flash (False Spirea), Astilbe x arendsii 'Color Flash', has a stunning new contrast of foliage colors! The deeply cut ferny leaves start off bright lime green, and then mature to a rich burgundy purple to a bronze color.  All foliage colors are present on each plant since the leaves come out in different stages!   ‘Color Flash’ displays striking pink plumes that grow upright to about 10 inches above the plant. This astilbe would make a great new addition to your part shade garden.  For a brilliant and colorful effect plant them in masses; use also in borders or containers. It is best to apply a thick layer of mulch around the root zone over the growing season to conserve soil moisture; since it prefers moisture, water regularly for abundant flowers and nice foliage. The multi-colored foliage is deer and rabbit resistant; attracts butterflies. ‘Color Flash’ is a “must have” because of its long blooming period, great color, attractive foliage, and low, low maintenance! * Part shade * Ferny leaves * Striking plumes 

Grass - Variegated Feather Reed - DetailsGrass - Variegated Feather Reed - Sale Price: $29.95
Grass - Variegated Feather Reed, Calamagrostis acutiflora 'Overdam', displays white and green leaves, and its smaller size makes it more refined than 'Karl Forester'. In some ways, it is even more pleasing than its big brother, Karl. It has medium blade width and flowers in June through July. It will most likely remain upright throughout the winter. Variegated Feather Reed does well in heavy clay soils, unlike many of the other ornamental grasses. It provides an excellent vertical accent for borders and for narrow spaces in the landscape. It is also effective in moist low spots or on pond/stream banks. With ample moisture it will do well in full sun, but likes a little shade in hot climates. Variegated Feather Reed works well as a specimen, or incorporated into a border and makes a good low screen, especially in somewhat shady areas. Use as a backdrop for roses and other perennials. It should be cut back in early spring, just before the new growth starts. Create your own dried arrangement, because this grass does make a wonderful display for your favorite vase or basket! * Variegated * Accent plant
