Hosta - Wide Brim - Sale Price: $99.95 The Hosta ‘Wide Brim’ has a deep blue-green center with very wide, irregular margins of cream with gold tints at maturity, making it very striking. The lavender flowers bloom from July to August, however, hostas are not known only for their flowers.  With this plant having a height of 20” and a spread of 32-36”, ‘Wide Brim’ hosta provides bright color in shade with its wonderful foliage. Plant this low care plant 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.  ‘Wide Brim’ is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 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.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  Due to its versatility and ease of care, along with its striking mounded form, ‘Wide Brim’ is a favorite of landscape designers! * Slug resistance * Clumping habit * Appealing foliage

Grass - Gold Bar Maiden - Sale Price: $64.25 Gold Bar Maiden Grass, Miscanthus sinensis 'Joy Creek Selection #1' (PP#15,193), is truly a show-stopper and a sensational variety with its heavily banded gold stripes, from the base of the grass to its top.

'Gold Bar' is a slower, but good grower, eventually reaching 5' tall in eight years. Miscanthus is unrivalled in the diversity and beauty of its flowers, foliage, autumn colors and winter presence. It is extraordinarily adaptable to many conditions and purposes in the garden. Use it alone as a specimen, in the mid to back border or to create a living fence or screen. It is easy to grow, and its intense color almost glows in the sun! 4 Season Interest!

Astilbe - Visions in Pink - Sale Price: $49.95 The Astilbe Chinensis Visions in Pink PP#118, 'Astilbe Chinensis', has clear raspberry pink plumes that light up shady garden spaces in the spring.

The ‘Visions in Pink’ plumes offer a striking contrast against the coarsely textured, blue-green foliage.  These spring blooming beauties are ideal for borders, containers, and gardens on the edge of woodlands. For maximum color and impact, mass astilbe in groups in partly shaded gardens Astilbe needs well drained, but moist and highly organic soil; humusy forest gardens are a perfect example of where these plants will thrive. Drifts of this ‘Visions in Pink’ Astilbe are stunning when paired with other white blooming shade plants like Japanese Orchids or Peonies. * Colorful plumes * Attractive foliage * Easy to grow

Grass - Variegated Feather Reed - Sale Price: $29.95 Grass - Variegated Feather Reed, Calamagrostis acutiflora 'Overdam', displays white and green leaves, and its smaller size makes it more refined than 'Karl Forester'. In some ways, it is even more pleasing than its big brother, Karl. It has medium blade width and flowers in June through July. It will most likely remain upright throughout the winter. Variegated Feather Reed does well in heavy clay soils, unlike many of the other ornamental grasses. It provides an excellent vertical accent for borders and for narrow spaces in the landscape. It is also effective in moist low spots or on pond/stream banks. With ample moisture it will do well in full sun, but likes a little shade in hot climates. Variegated Feather Reed works well as a specimen, or incorporated into a border and makes a good low screen, especially in somewhat shady areas. Use as a backdrop for roses and other perennials. It should be cut back in early spring, just before the new growth starts. Create your own dried arrangement, because this grass does make a wonderful display for your favorite vase or basket! * Variegated * Accent plant

Peony - President Roosevelt - Sale Price: $71.35 Peony President Roosevelt, Paeonia lactiflora 'President Roosevelt', is a favorite for a mid spring display and boasts brilliant double red and striking very large semi-rose flowers. Its pronounced yellow stamens add a nice contrast. The flowers have good stems, are richly fragrant, and make great cut flowers. Peony President Roosevelt seldom needs to be divided or moved, but if it is needed, it should be done in the fall. Trim off old stems to the ground in late fall too, to help prevent disease problems. Peony President Roosevelt will flower best in a sunny location with very well-composted soil. Peonies are herbaceous perennials arising from thickened tuberous roots that are invisible and hidden underground most of the year.
