Hibiscus - Summer Storm
Hibiscus - Summer Storm Hibiscus Summer Storm (Rose Mellow), Hibiscus moscheutos 'Summer Storm', is continuously smothered with spectacular 10 wide, medium pink to rose-colored flowers, along with deeply-lobed luscious dark purple leaves. Each flower has dark pink veining and a magenta eye that radiates through the petals! ‘Summer Storm’ puts on a fabulous show from midsummer to fall. Moist soils are ideal, but this hibiscus is quite drought-tolerant. All summer long you'll enjoy hundreds of these exotic flowers, along with the many butterflies, bees and hummingbirds that this plant attracts. This hardy hibiscus will die back to the ground every winter and emerge from the ground in the middle to late spring season; cut back to 4-6 from the ground in the spring. It is root hardy and needs no protection. Remove old canes to the ground in mid winter. Use ‘Summer Storm’ as an accent plant, landscape specimen, in mass plantings or rock gardens. It grows well in any fertile, well-drained soil with ample moisture. Do not allow to dry to the wilting point. Be careful not to over-water until plants show signs of growth. 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 hibiscus is suitable for very large containers, but pots must be protected over winter. ‘Summer Storm’ hibiscus needs little care once established, attracts butterflies, and it has some of the largest flowers of any perennial! * Large flowers * Drought tolerant * Hardy

| Clematis - Candida - Sale Price: $42.75 Clematis Candida, Clematis lanuginosa 'Candida', features pure white, 6 flowers with creamy white to yellow stamens that adorn this vigorous selection in early summer and again in late summer. Candida makes a great cut flower and produces flowers on graceful vines of old and new wood. One of the best whites!

Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. 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 Candida is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! * Reliable * Great cut flower * Vigorous |
