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

Daylily - Siloam Peony Display - DetailsDaylily - Siloam Peony Display - Sale Price: $39.95
Hemerocallis Siloam Peony Display, Hemerocallis 'Siloam Peony Display', looks like a peony but lasts much longer than one.  The plants are so packed with petals that they look like peonies that bloom in the summer! The fragrant blooms measure up to 6 inches across and have a rose blush band near the center of the flower.  These huge fully double, ruffled, peach colored blooms flower in midsummer and then again later in the season. ‘Siloam Peony Display’ will bloom up to 16 hours for a full day, and being an extended bloomer, it produces a continuous big show in your garden with its wonderfully fragrant double flowers. Use this exciting daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds.  Once established, it can also be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies.  ‘Siloam Peony Display’ makes a beautiful “peony looking” floral arrangement. Divide this daylily every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline.   Deadheading spent buds and removing old scapes will improve overall look, but not improve plant performance.    Individual flowers last only one day, but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last more than a month.   ‘Siloam Peony Display’ produces exotic blooms one after another for several weeks! * Peony-like flowers * Extended bloomer
