False Indigo - Starlite Prairiebluesâ„¢
False Indigo - Starlite Prairiebluesâ„¢ False Indigo Starlite Prairieblues, Baptisia 'Starlite Prairieblues™' PPAF, is the second introduction to the lovely Prairieblues™ series of Baptisia. The dramatic 24 inch long flower stems resemble huge lupine flowers and make great cut flowers. In late spring, the deep violet-lavender buds of 'Starlite Prairieblues™' PPAF unfurl into lovely periwinkle-blue blooms with contrasting butter-cream keels. The profusion of flowers rises just above the well-maintained foliage. 'Starlite Prairieblues™' looks great even when not in bloom! It is a good, vigorous grower, extremely long lived, and destined to become a favorite in the garden. The Baptisia looks attractive by itself, against walls and fences, or combined in a border with other June bloomers. Full sun is best for the most successful flowering and performance. It grows well in average to dry soil but adapts to most conditions. The remarkable charcoal black seedpods add a nice touch to dried floral arrangements! 'Starlite Prairieblues™' has a very deep tap root, giving it the ability to survive long dry periods and making it a challenge to move once it is established. Move in the early spring if you must. It is deer resistant. One of the earliest Baptisia to bloom, it does take a couple of years to really get going, but once it does it really puts on a colorful show! * Vigorous grower * Drought tolerant * Impressive color

| Clematis - Duchess of Albany - Sale Price: $42.75 Clematis Duchess of Albany, Clematis texensis 'Duchess of Albany', is a vigorous grower with 2 wide tulip-like flowers. The unique flowers have pink petals with darker pink center bars. This clematis is excellent for late summer color blooming from July thru October; makes a fine complement to a climbing rose. Grow ‘Duchess of Albany’ where the delicate blooms can be admired at close range, such as over a low shrub by a pathway, or in a trellised patio container. It is a modest grower compared to the large-flowering types, yet its height is dependent on the structure it climbs! Clematis Duchess of Albany needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow 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. Duchess of Albany is one of the most heat tolerant clematis. 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 Duchess of Albany is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! * Reliable * Unique flowers * Modest grower |

| Hosta - Lakeside Shore Master - Sale Price: $42.75 The Hosta Lakeside Shore Master, Hosta 'Lakeside Shore Master', is a vigorous growing and eye catching member of the Lakeside series. ‘Lakeside Shore Master’ Hosta does command attention in the garden with its broadly ovate blue-green leaves that develop rich ivory to yellow centers.

An impressive and easy to maintain Hosta, ‘Lakeside Shore Master’ is a good grower, makes a very handsome mound, and brightens up a shady area! 'Lakeside Shore Master' is a low care perennial and is ideal for shady positions and is one of the most popular for landscapes. It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. It grows well 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. Plant 'Lakeside Shore Master' 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. If you need a plant that is easy to maintain and provides a bright spot in your shaded garden, 'Lakeside Shore Master' will certainly be the one! * Puckered leaves * Low maintenance * Great specimen |
