Hosta - Captain Kirk
Hosta - Captain Kirk Hosta Captain Kirk, Hosta 'Captain Kirk', is a notable, improved sport of the very popular Hosta 'Gold Standard'. The leaves have bright gold centers that contrast nicely against the dark green margins. It is much more sun tolerant than other hostas! Plant in an area that receives morning sun for the best golden leaf color. As you can imagine, the contrast is truly stunning! Each 3' wide clump is topped with lavender flowers in midsummer. The thick, waxy leaves resist slugs. 'Captain Kirk' is a low care perennial that needs high-filtered or dappled sunlight for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but this hosta can handle more sun that most other hostas. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Aren't you about ready to boldly grow what none of your neighbors have grown before? This glowing two-toned beauty is a robust grower, has a neat appearance, and puts on a star performance! * Sun tolerant * Low maintenance * Slug resistant

| Butterfly Plant - Cinderella - Sale Price: $39.95 Butterfly Plant Cinderella, Asclepias incarnata 'Cinderella', is a virtually hassle-free perennial, offering three months of vanilla-scented, rose-pink flowers in large, compact clusters from midsummer to early fall. Deadheading the flowers will stimulate another bloom cycle about a month after the first one. The flowers, which are heavily laden with nectar and pollen, are particularly attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Asclepias incarnata is easily grown in medium to wet soils in full sun. It is surprisingly tolerant of average well-drained soils in cultivation even though the species is native to swamps and wet meadows. Plants have deep taproots and are best left undisturbed once established. Foliage is slow to emerge in spring. Once established, Swamp Milkweed requires little care. Though it is perfectly cold-hardy in the north, mulching plants in winter will help prevent frost-heaving. In spring, trim back last year's growth and await the beautiful new foliage that will appear a bit later than other perennials. Following the fabulous flowers, typical milkweed seed pods develop which rupture to reveal seeds with long, silvery-white, silky hairs. * These are great to use in dried flower arrangements! * Deer resistant * Long bloom period |
