Hibiscus - Lord Baltimore
Hibiscus - Lord Baltimore The Hibiscus 'Lord Baltimore', Hibiscus moscheutos, has beautiful red flowers that are a definite eye-catcher. It has a plant height of 6-8' and a spread of 3-4'. The brilliant red flowers are 10 in diameter, so 'Lord Baltimore' is a colorful hibiscus that should not be missed! The deep green, lobed leaves make a wonderful contrast. 'Lady Baltimore' prefers moist to wet soil conditions and loves the heat of summer. It is frequently used as a specimen. It is best to plant this Hibiscus in a full sun to partial shade area, and it will tolerate most soil types. 'Lord Baltimore' looks wonderful with grasses, or as a background plant. It grows well in any fertile, well-drained soil with ample moisture. Do not allow to dry to the wilting point. Be patient; hibiscus can be slow to emerge in spring; provide regular fertilization during the growing season. Be careful to not over water until plants show signs of growth! For best performance, plant before the heat of the summer. 'Lord Baltimore' is suitable for very large containers, but pots must be protected over winter. Although the hibiscus grows tall, the need for staking is rare. These plants will die back to ground level during the winter months. Hibiscus needs little care once established, attracts butterflies, and it has some of the largest flowers of any perennial! * Large flowers * Easy to grow * Vigorous grower

The ‘Ivory Prince’ prefers part shade and rich soil. ‘Ivory Prince’ requires a moist, shaded site and responds especially well to planting under deep-rooted deciduous trees such as Oaks or Crab Apples. ‘Ivory Prince’ will bloom in late winter to early spring and will reach 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide.

| Hosta - Satisfaction - Sale Price: $42.75 The Hosta Satisfaction, Hosta 'Satisfaction', is an incredibly spectacular and dramatic gold-edged sport of Hosta Piedmont Gold. 'Satisfaction' is bordered by wide leaf margins that are light green at first, and then turn bright gold in early summer. The gold margins get to be about 2 wide at maturity; near white flowers top the clump in mid-summer. ‘Satisfaction' is a low mounded and stunning hosta. It will have an impact on any area of your shade garden, and the margins turn cream if placed in a sunny location! 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. 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. ‘Satisfaction' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. Because of its brilliant colors, 'Satisfaction' is one of the most show stopping hostas in any garden! * Stunning plant * Easy to grow * Low mounding habit |

It maintains its outstanding blue color and beautiful edging until the “first frost” in the fall; named a Designer Hosta™ and 2010 Hosta of the Year!

'First Frost' grows 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.
