Hosta - Minuteman
Hosta Minuteman, Hosta 'Minuteman', has bold creamy white margins on thick dark green leaves, which makes this Hosta a real knockout! The dark green center, with erect leaves, makes this a very eye catching and handsome mound.  Pale lavender striped flowers are an added bonus, and this hosta demonstrates good sun tolerance. 'Minuteman' is a selection from Hosta 'Francee' and an improvement over the very popular Hosta 'Patriot'; however, the white margin does not go as deep into the leaf.   This 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 'Minuteman' 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, although 'Minuteman' has some sun tolerance. This 'Minuteman' Hosta is an outstanding addition to any garden! * Mounded habit * Thick leaves * Good sun tolerance

Daylily - Sunny Honey - DetailsDaylily - Sunny Honey - Sale Price: $49.95
The Daylily Sunny Honey, 'Hemerocallis 'Sunny Honey', is a repeat blooming daylily with a 3 1/2 inch honey yellow flower, with a green throat. It has evergreen foliage growing to 24 inches.  The plants do not usually require dividing for several years, but are easily split apart in fall or early spring.  The spent flower stems can be trimmed back after blooms are finished but wait to cut back the dead foliage until early spring. This plant should continue blooming from early summer to early fall.  'Sunny Honey' provides much enjoyment when planted in borders, containers, mass plantings, as a ground cover, and as cut flowers!  Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover. Evergreen daylilies grow well in all but the most tropical regions but require protection where winters are harsh and cold.   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). 'Sunny Honey' has a modestly ruffled edge, but a vivid and exquisite honey-yellow color.  It is one of the prettiest daylilies you can have in your garden! * Long blooming * Wonderful blooms * Durable
