Hosta - Halcyon
Hosta - Halcyon Gardeners are always looking for two things: 1) shade plants and 2) blue plants. The Halcyon Hosta is made for the shade and is the most interesting frosty ocean-blue color, earning it the 1997 Award of Merit (AGM). It’s a vigorous (but slower) grower with ribbed, spear-shaped foliage that sits underneath white-to-lavender bell-shaped flowers from July to August — but the real show is the foliage itself. Slug-resistant, attracts hummingbirds during blooming. Halycon Hosta grows in the familiar “fountain†mound shape to about 2’ tall and wide, and prefers full shade in a moist but well-drained spot. Also known as funkia or plantain lily, Hosta Halcyon is a reliable winner that requires little attention. Spectacular when planted in shade borders, around large shade trees and even in large containers. One of the best hostas available. Zones 4-8.

| Clematis - Barbara Harrington - Sale Price: $42.75 Clematis Barbara Harrington, Clematis 'Barbara Harrington', has lovely cerise 4 flowers that have pointed petals with a darker border and contrasting yellow anthers. It has an exceptional free flowering habit and long bloom time: from late June through September. ‘Barbara Harrington’ looks stunning when planted with climbing roses! This clematis 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. Prune this plant back hard at the end of winter to encourage new growth. ‘Barbara Harrington’ is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season on two to get it going! * Reliable * Lovely flowers * Easy to grow |
| Daylily - Scentual Sundance - Sale Price: $49.95 The Daylily 'Scentual Sundance', Hemerocallis 'Scentual Sundance', produces clusters of 4 inch golden yellow flowers with a green throat that cover this ever-blooming daylily from June until frost. This daylily has an added bonus beyond its brilliant color and lush foliage, it is wonderfully fragrant! The foliage is broader, with more substance, strength and deeper green color than 'Stella'. Remove old foliage in late fall. 'Scentual Sundance' is a rugged plant and adapts to a wide range of soil and light conditions. It establishes quickly, grows vigorously, and survives winters with little or no injury. Deadheading spent buds and removing old scapes will improve overall look, but not improve plant performance. Individual flowers last only one day, but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last more than a month. Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds; attracts butterflies. Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion. Divide every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline. 'Scentual Sundance' is an outstanding beauty that has it all! Beautiful flowers, lush foliage, and it is wonderfully fragrant! * Fragrant * Long blooming * Durable |
| Hosta - Dance with Me - Sale Price: $42.75 The Hosta Dance with Me, Hosta 'Dance with Me', will put on a fantastic performance in your landscape! A reverse of Last Dance, the ‘Dance with Me’ prefers part sun for the best color display. The heart-shaped, nearly round leaves are thick and heavily textured and have a pale yellow color with light green margins. ‘Dance with Me’ will produce long season appeal and has a good resistance to garden pests. It is a medium sized hosta and produces lavender flowers in late summer that attract hummingbirds. It is a low care perennial that is ideal for a slightly sunny area. This hosta grows 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, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc. With its colorful and heavily textured leaves, ‘Dance with Me’ will put on an outstanding performance in any shaded landscape! * Low maintenance * Heart-shaped leaves * Resistance to garden pests |
