Hosta - Arctic Blast
Hosta Arctic Blast, Hosta 'Arctic Blast', has leaves that are frosted blue with white undersides, and the leaf margins are wavy with twisted pointed tips.  Hosta 'Arctic Blast' has a vase-like, upright habit, and produces trumpet-shaped, lavender flowers that are produced on 30 scapes in midsummer. 'Arctic Blast' is a large hosta that originated as a cross of 'Komodo Dragon' x 'Elvis Lives'.  This plant would create a great visual display in a decorative container as well as enhance your garden landscape! This hosta is a low care perennial that is ideal for shady positions.  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. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth.  Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors of 'Arctic Blast’, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly! This hosta is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plants.  'Arctic Blast' Hosta is an attention-getting plant in the border, along the foundation, or as an accent planting in any setting. You will be very pleased with the lovely flowers and the striking foliage of 'Arctic Blast'! * Large hosta * Vase-like habit * Shade lover

Daylily - Cherry Candy - DetailsDaylily - Cherry Candy - Sale Price: $54.95
Hemerocallis Cherry Candy, Hemerocallis 'Cherry Candy', is an extended bloomer, so its flowers will remain open for at least 16 hours apiece! The lightly scented, 4¼ bloom of ‘Cherry Candy’ opens flat to show off its prominent bright red eye.  The rounded overlapping petals are a light golden orange and are lined with a very fine red edging.   The flowers appear on strong, well-branched scapes; can produce up to 30 buds per scape! Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds. Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies.  ‘Cherry Candy’ also makes a beautiful floral arrangement.   Divide every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline.   Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover.   Daylilies grow best when planted in full sun to partial shade.  In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust. Because it is a highly performing daylily with gorgeous color and a long blooming habit, ‘Cherry Candy’ is a pleasure to have in any garden! * Long blooming * Hardy * Carefree
