Daylily - Kokomo Sunsetâ„¢
Daylily - Kokomo Sunsetâ„¢ The Daylily 'Kokomo Sunset', Hemerocallis 'TP 06-02', is an early-blooming daylily that has 4 inch wide, deep golden blooms with burgundy-red eyes. The blooms have a light ruffled edge and a green throat. Because it has a long bloom season and multiple flowering cycles, the 'Kokomo Sunset' is perfect for mass planting and perennial beds! 'Kokomo Sunset' has short, grassy foliage, clean shedding of old blooms, prolonged reblooming that extends the season, and rapid increase of divisions. Compact plants and short flower scapes and foliage of this daylily eliminate blow-over in garden centers common to taller daylilies. This daylily matures to 14-18 inches tall and the flowering begins 6 to 8 weeks earlier than standard commercial varieties, and the flowers develop even during cooler weather and cold nights! Daylilies will grow in almost any soil and handle drought to wet soil conditions. In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust. These plants 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). As a gardener, you will be captivated by the colorful display of this marvelous daylily, and how 'Kokomo Sunset' has such a wide range of soil and – and cool weather tolerance! * Short flower scapes * Compact foliage * Early bloomer

| Mondo Grass - Sale Price: $56.95 The Grass 'Mondo', Ophiopogon japonicus, is an evergreen perennial which forms a dense clump of grass-like leaves; similar in appearance to Liriope, but finer textured with thinner blades. ('Mondo' actually is a member of the lily family despite its appearance and common name.) The leaves emerge in clumps from a network of rhizomes that grow just below the soil surface. With age, the clumps will merge to form a soft dense carpet of foliage. The small light purple flowers appear in summer, but are of little interest since they are hidden in the dense foliage, and so are the small blue-black berries that follow. It can be used as a bed edge or as a groundcover in a shady area. It is important for erosion control since the dense mat of roots holds the ground well; avoid planting it near moist areas because it will take over! 'Mondo' Grass can also be used as an evergreen in planters, either alone or mixed with seasonal annuals for color. ‘Mondo’ has a rich green color that helps to provide definition, allowing the features of the garden to really stand out. (Its height will not compete with the features of other plants). Plant this lush, hardy grass with slender blades that requires no mowing! * Dense clumping habit * Mat forming * Groundcover |

| Sedum - Star Dust - Sale Price: $49.95 Sedum Star Dust, Sedum 'Star Dust', is a pale pink budded succulent sedum with grey-green leaves, topped with large, flat, white flower-heads in late summer. Star Dust begins to produce green broccoli-like buds in mid-summer, which gradually open into large clear-white flower heads, later developing a tinge of pink. Star Dust is a valuable late source of nectar for butterflies and bees too. This sedum looks great planted in bold drifts towards the front of a sunny, well-drained border. Seed heads also add some winter interest. It is best to apply a thin layer of compost each spring, followed by a 2-inch layer of mulch to keep soil moist and control weeds. Choose an area where the plant will receive sun to partial shade. After the first killing frost, the stems should be cut back to an inch or two above soil line. * Great cut flower* Drought tolerant* Easy to grow |
| Astilbe - Maggie Daley - Sale Price: $39.95 Astilbe Maggie Daley, Astilbe chinensis 'Maggie Daley', displays a profusion of showy spikes of lavender-purple panicles in mid to late summer. The fuzzy flowers are full and packed closely together. They resemble a bouquet as they sit on top of shiny, bronze-green foliage. 'Maggie Daley' blooms later than other astilbes and grows best in rich soil that is consistently moist. Astilbes are long-lived perennials that are most comfortable when grown in rich soil and light shade to filtered sun. They will grow in full shade, but will not bloom as prolifically. ‘Maggie Daley’ is a robust and somewhat drought resistant plant that is similar to Astilbe 'Visions'. Though they are easy to grow, Astilbes have one critical requirement--lots of water. The plants must have consistently moist soil; dryness leads to a quick demise, especially in the sun. Fertilize Astilbes in late spring before flowering starts. Wait to cut back the old foliage until spring; it will help protect the plant from winter damage. Maggie Daley is an excellent perennial for lightly shaded areas. Plant this dense, vigorous growing plant for additional color in the lightly shaded area of your garden. You will be glad you did! * Robust * Easy to grow * Drought tolerant |
