Grass - Dewey Blue Switch
Grass - Dewey Blue Switch The Switch Grass 'Dewey Blue', Panicum amarum 'Dewey Blue', is a native grass with exceptional color and great practical value. Its bold, blue-gray foliage is very attractive and ideal for infertile, dry, hot, sandy soils. This native spreads slowly by rhizomes, making it an important grass for hillsides and erosion control. The open, graceful, tan flowers appear in the fall and create interest throughout the winter months. It prefers less fertile, drier soils. If the soil is fertile and moist, it may have problems remaining upright. 'Dewey Blue' grass is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution and is very tolerant of high heat and humidity! Plant in spring when the soil is warm, since the roots will grow only in warm soil. Planting too early in the spring may cause the roots to rot. * Colorful * Hot weather plant * Hardy

| 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.

Near white flowers appear on tall scapes in midsummer. ‘Yankee Blue’ is a hosta that forms a full, symmetrical, wide mound that really brightens up a shady area. 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. 'Yankee Blue' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 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. 'Yankee Blue’ has a very good substance and excellent vigor, especially for a blue! This may become your favorite blue hosta yet! * Large plant * Clumping habit * Appealing blue foliage |
