Hibiscus - Sultry Kiss
Hibiscus Sultry Kiss (Rose Mellow), Hibiscus moscheutos 'Sultry Kiss', will certainly make you aware of your landscape! 'Sultry Kiss' hibiscus displays brilliant, deep red buds that open to 9-11 inch wide, overlapping, purple-red flowers.  This hibiscus forms an upright mound of foliage that is well-branched with maple-like, dark green leaves that are bronze when they first emerge; and then mature to a dark green with reddish-purple stems. It provides a profusion of color from midsummer until frost. This super-long blooming shrub attracts butterflies, bees and hummingbirds all season long. 'Sultry Kiss' hibiscus need very little care over the winter; root hardy and needs no protection. 'Sultry Kiss' will die to the ground each year, so should be cut back to 4-6 from the ground in the spring.  Be careful not to over-water until plants show signs of growth.  Moist soils are best, but this hardy hibiscus is very drought tolerant as well.   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.  For best performance, plant in full sun in moist soil, before the heat of the summer. This 'Sultry Kiss' hibiscus is suitable for very large containers, but pots must be protected over winter.  Hibiscus needs little care once established, attracts butterflies, and it has the largest flowers of any perennial! * Large red flowers * Upright mound * Vigorous grower

Lungwort - Cevennensis - DetailsLungwort - Cevennensis - Sale Price: $56.95
Lungwort Cevennensis, Pulmonaria longifolia 'Cevennensis', is a clump forming lungwort that is valued by gardeners for its attractive foliage. It features very long and narrow silvery spotted leaves. In the spring, drooping clusters of funnel-shaped, dark violet-blue flowers appear. Lungwort Cevennensis is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade, but it prefers cool soils that are moist and humusy. This lungwort is very tolerant of wet, poorly drained soils, so it must have constant moisture and not be allowed to dry out; leaves can depreciate considerably in extremely hot weather or too much sun. Keeping the plant moist will maintain an attractive foliage after bloom and throughout the summer. Lungwort Cevennensis spreads very slowly by creeping roots, and it is best to divide the plants in the fall. Deer resistant.
