Daylily - August Frost
Hemerocallis August Frost, Hemerocallis 'August Frost', is a daylily that exhibits a healthy, hardy clump of green foliage and is a faithful and heavy performer; not a rebloomer.  ‘August Frost’ has large, 6” near white to pale yellow flowers that have narrow gold edging on the petals.   This daylily tolerates the temperature extremes of the season, and because of its beautiful form and overlapping petals, ‘August Frost’ provides a bright accent to a garden.  Its blooms are impressive and the fabulous contrasting gold wire edges make a dainty ruffled flounce! Because it is a late bloomer, you can enjoy its fabulous color when other perennials begin to fade.  Individual flowers last only one day but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last over a month. Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds. It is an excellent ground cover on slopes because daylilies have roots that hold soil against erosion once established. ‘August Frost’ makes a beautiful floral arrangement.   Daylilies are some of the easiest plants to grow and are a good choice for any gardener.  They will grow in almost any soil and handle drought to wet soil conditions. Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover; attracts butterflies. Daylilies 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). * Late bloomer * Hardy * Carefree

Hosta - Queen of the Seas - DetailsHosta - Queen of the Seas - Sale Price: $39.95
Hosta Queen of the Seas, Hosta 'Queen of the Seas', lets you make a statement in your garden.  This new dynamic, vibrant, blue hosta has a tall, upright form and forms a huge 48” clump! The 'Queen of the Seas' displays large, blue-green leaves that have wavy pie-crust margins, and are heart shaped. The near white flowers are produced in early to midsummer. Hosta 'Queen of the Seas' won the Best of Show award at the 1997 American Hosta Society national convention! In midsummer, the 'Queen of the Seas' clumps are topped with 3' spikes of lavender flowers.  In warmer southern zones, the color may deepen to green in summer. 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.  'Queen of the Seas' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plants. If you want to add some architectural interest and color to your shade garden, be sure to include 'Queen of the Seas'! * Upright form * Wavy edged leaves * Heart shaped leaves
