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

This Hosta is slug resistant and a vigorous grower! The lavender flowers bloom from July to August, however, Hostas are not only known for their flowers. With a plant height of 36” and a spread of 60”, this is a giant plant with colorful foliage that will need space to grow! Hosta ‘Sum and Substance’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained location. ‘Sum and Substance’ does require some sun to enhance its golden color. ‘Sum and Substance’ was named Hosta of the Year in 2004, and one can see why. The flowers are on 50” scapes, making it one of a kind! 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. ‘Sum and Substance’ is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. A great choice for any beginner gardener. 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. ‘Sum and Substance’ is a huge plant with stunning leaves that will light up any large shady space! * Slug resistance * Fragrant flowers * Vigorous grower |

Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, but will thrive and bloom in shade. Apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. 'Will Goodwin' is long blooming and will bring a colorful and interesting form to a structure, such as a trellis or pole! * Easy to grow * Shade tolerant * Luxuriant flowers |
| Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle Vine - Sale Price: $57.05 Hummingbirds are attracted to red flowers and sweet nectar, both abundant features of the hybrid Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle. It couldn’t be easier to grow: it will withstand cold winters, put up with drought and doesn’t need anything but a half-day of full sun and some moist, fertile soil to perform at its best. It’s a rugged semi-evergreen climber that’s virtually indestructible, even with haphazard pruning. Each year, from June to September, you can look forward to lightly fragrant masses of scarlet-orange tubular flowers that give way to small red berries in the fall (which the birds just love). Because it’s a vining variety, be sure to give it a sturdy support to climb on soon after it’s planted. Zones 4-8. |
