Hosta - Paul's Glory - Sale Price: $39.95 The Hosta Paul's Glory, Hosta 'Paul's Glory', was Hosta of the year in 1999.  The large pointed leaves are a brilliant gold with a wide blue edge! The pale lavender flowers of this fast growing hosta appear in early summer on 2 foot stems, providing bright color in shade.   ‘Paul's Glory’ is a low care perennial that is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and is one of the most popular landscape plants.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  'Paul's Glory' is at home in well 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. Plant 'Paul's Glory' in an area that receives the right amount of light.  The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves. Hosta experts believe that 'Paul's Glory' is one of the best gold Hostas available! * Heart shaped leaves * Gold coloration * Fast grower

Clematis - Mme. Julia Correvon - Sale Price: $42.75 Clematis Mme. Julia Correvon, Clematis viticella 'Mme. Julia Correvon', produces stunning 4 true red flowers that display their beauty nearly all summer long! 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. 'Mme. Julia Correvon' is a vigorous grower that looks lovely when allowed to grow through small trees or shrubs! 'Mme. Julia Correvon' needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs, over walls, cover stumps, and make perfect cover ups for unsightly service areas. 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

Daylily - Stella Supreme - Sale Price: $49.95 The Daylily Stella Supreme, 'Hemerocallis 'Stella Supreme', is a durable perennial with its grass-like leaves that produces showy clusters of lemon-chiffon yellow lily-like blooms on tall stems. The flowers appear in late spring/early summer and continue until frost.  It grows 14 inches tall and it is very effective when planted in drifts! Try this perennial in mixed beds and borders, containers and large mass plantings.  The ‘Stella Supreme’ is day-blooming and rises from compact clumps of green strap-like leaves that become fully dormant in winter.  If well cared for, this daylily will regularly rebloom. The ‘Stella Supreme’ daylily does not require deadheading, pruning or pinching.  This plant will also attract hummingbirds as well as butterflies; prefers full sun and soil with good drainage. This daylily is wonderful for small places, such as containers on patios or the small garden.  Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover. Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone). With its showy, soft, lemon chiffon blooms and durability, ‘Stella Supreme’ is hands down one of the best rebloomers you will ever have in your garden! * Small, clumping habit * Early bloomer * Durable
