Dwarf Joe Pye Weed - Little Joe
The Little Joe-Pye Weed, 'Eupatorium purpureum', is a wonderful lavender purple bloomer that stands 4’ tall with a plant spread the 29-35”.  The “Little Joe’ plant has dark green leaves, and by midsummer it is covered with dome-shaped heads of lavender flowers.   Having a more compact growing habit, it produces 4' tall and stiff stems to prevent flopping later in the year.  Not only does “Little Joe’ grow to a manageable size in the garden, but its dwarf stature keeps the butterflies at eye level for our enjoyment!  ‘Little Joe-Pye Weed’ is more compact and shorter than other perennials in its family.  With beautiful wine red stems that develop large green leaves, it is a definite attractor to butterflies and bees, and it is deer resistant. Eupatorium ‘Little Joe-Pye Weed’ should be planted in full sun, but can tolerate some afternoon shade.  Make sure it has a moist, well-drained area for optimal success, and give this colorful plant some space to grow. Combine ‘Little Joe Pye Weed’ with Rudbeckia ‘Black Eyed Susan’, Aster ‘Woods Purple’, ornamental grasses or in a perennial border for a great background!  * Hardy * Dwarf * Attracts butterflies

Clematis - Ice Blue - DetailsClematis - Ice Blue - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Ice Blue, Clematis 'Ice Blue™', is a new cultivar with 6-7 white flowers that are frosted with a tinge of blue when it first opens. 'Ice Blue' adds a cool and refreshing look to the garden in May through June and again in September.  The compact habit makes it ideal for a container planting! Clematis 'Ice Blue™' needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also meander over large shrubs, over walls, cover stumps, and make perfect cover ups for unsightly service areas. 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. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. Clematis 'Ice Blue™ is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! * Reliable * Container plant * Compact
