Hosta - Luna Moth
The Hosta Luna Moth, Hosta 'Luna Moth', is a stunning, easy to grow hosta that will make a cheerful presence in your perennial shade garden! A sport of Parky’s Prize, ‘Luna Moth’ produces thicker substance and wider margins.  In the spring the wavy, heart-shaped leaves emerge dark green with light green margins.  These margins will brighten to yellow in summer; this clumping plant also produces lavender flowers in early summer. If you are a beginner gardener, ‘Luna Moth’ is a great choice because of its exceptional form, color and vigor. ‘Luna Moth’ is a low care perennial and is ideal for shady positions and is one of the most popular for landscapes.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. It grows well 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. Plant ‘Luna Moth’ 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 'Luna Moth' has an exceptional form and is a vigorous grower! * Mounded habit * Exceptional form * Fast grower

Daylily - Montego Melonâ„¢ - DetailsDaylily - Montego Melonâ„¢ - Sale Price: $42.75
The Daylily 'Montego Melon', Hemerocallis 'TP 06-13', is an early-blooming daylily with soft yellow blooms on a more compact plant.  Because of its long bloom season, and multiple flowering cycles, this daylily is perfect for mass plantings and perennial beds! The compact grass-like foliage is rust resistant and matures to 15-18 inches, so it is considered a low growing daylily.  This rugged, adaptable, vigorous perennial endures in a garden for many years with little or no care. Daylilies adapt to a wide range of soil and light conditions.  They establish quickly, grow vigorously, and survive winters with little or no injury.  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.   Divide 'Montego Melon' every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline; divide in early spring.   Plant daylilies in sites that provide well-drained soil and plenty of sun. The 'Montego Melon' daylily 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). Use 'Montego Melon' daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds.  Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies! * Vigorous grower * Rugged * Rebloomer
