Hosta - August Moon
The Hosta ‘August Moon’, Hosta sieboldiana, has wide, heart-shaped gold colored foliage with slightly rippled margins, making it very striking! The white to pale lavender flowers bloom from July to August.  Hostas are not known only for their flowers, but mostly for their foliage.   With a plant height of 24” and a spread of 24-36”, ‘August Moon’ provides bright color in shade with its wonderful foliage. Hosta ‘August Moon’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained area.  It grows best in 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. This low care perennial is ideal for tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular for landscape uses.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! ‘August Moon’  needs high-filtered or dappled sunlight which is necessary for clean, healthy growth.  Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors of this plant, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! You will be very pleased with the lovely foliage and easy care of ‘August Moon’! * Low maintenance * Striking foliage * Shade lover

The flower tepals have deeply veined midribs and margins that are somewhat scalloped and recurving.  As each flower matures, the tepals twist, which creates an interesting combination of aging twisted flowers and fully open new flowers.

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. Add this vigorous plant to your yard.  Its “true red” flowers will make a brilliant statement all summer long! * Colorful foliage * True red flowers * Vigorous grower

The Astilbe ‘Rheinland’, Astilbe japonica, has striking tall, feathery blooms of clear pink that rise above the foliage, adding a light, airy quality.  It has mid green foliage, changing to green in the spring.  The flowers contrast wonderfully with the glossy foliage. Astilbe ‘Rheinland’ blooms in midsummer and is 24” tall and has a plant width of 18”. Do not allow Astilbe ‘Rheinland’ to dry out since it prefers moist, humusy, organically rich soils.  It is most successfully grown in a shady area, but can tolerate some morning sun. A moist, well-drained area is a key feature for growing a healthy plant.  In order to keep Astilbe looking good for the next year, do not cut it back in the winter, (the old foliage helps protect the plant from winter damage), but prune in early spring. Astilbe is considered to be deer resistant and will attract hummingbirds. ‘Rheinland’ Astilbe can be used as cut flowers to make grand bouquets.   Plant this showy perennial for beautiful summer color in shady areas.   You will be delighted to see how this plant forms a graceful perennial border, or add to shade gardens with hosta’s and ferns! * Feathery blooms * Showy * Shade
