Hosta - Queen of the Seas
Hosta Queen of the Seas, Hosta 'Queen of the Seas', lets you make a statement in your garden.  This new dynamic, vibrant, blue hosta has a tall, upright form and forms a huge 48” clump! The 'Queen of the Seas' displays large, blue-green leaves that have wavy pie-crust margins, and are heart shaped. The near white flowers are produced in early to midsummer. Hosta 'Queen of the Seas' won the Best of Show award at the 1997 American Hosta Society national convention! In midsummer, the 'Queen of the Seas' clumps are topped with 3' spikes of lavender flowers.  In warmer southern zones, the color may deepen to green in summer. 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.  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.  'Queen of the Seas' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plants. If you want to add some architectural interest and color to your shade garden, be sure to include 'Queen of the Seas'! * Upright form * Wavy edged leaves * Heart shaped leaves

Clematis - Mayleen - DetailsClematis - Mayleen - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Mayleen, Clematis Montana 'Mayleen', is a charming beauty that displays small satin pink flowers in early summer. These satin pink blooms with gold stamens, have a rich vanilla perfume - strongest scented of the C. Montana’s.  This clematis is the earliest to bloom, with the buds coming from the previous season's stems. It is a deciduous climber, with dark green, bronze-flushed leaves.   It is a vigorous growing cultivar, but not as cold hardy as large flowering hybrids. Clematis Montana 'Mayleen' 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. Clematis ‘Mayleen’ is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! ‘Mayleen’ has attractive foliage that creates an all season appeal for that special place in your garden! * Fragrant * Satin pink flowers * Vigorous

Daylily - Siloam Peony Display - DetailsDaylily - Siloam Peony Display - Sale Price: $39.95
Hemerocallis Siloam Peony Display, Hemerocallis 'Siloam Peony Display', looks like a peony but lasts much longer than one.  The plants are so packed with petals that they look like peonies that bloom in the summer! The fragrant blooms measure up to 6 inches across and have a rose blush band near the center of the flower.  These huge fully double, ruffled, peach colored blooms flower in midsummer and then again later in the season. ‘Siloam Peony Display’ will bloom up to 16 hours for a full day, and being an extended bloomer, it produces a continuous big show in your garden with its wonderfully fragrant double flowers. Use this exciting daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds.  Once established, it can also be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies.  ‘Siloam Peony Display’ makes a beautiful “peony looking” floral arrangement. Divide this daylily every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline.   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.   ‘Siloam Peony Display’ produces exotic blooms one after another for several weeks! * Peony-like flowers * Extended bloomer

Trumpet Creeper - DetailsTrumpet Creeper - Sale Price: $49.95
The Trumpet Creeper, Campsis radicans 'flamenco', is a rapid growing, clinging vine that produces bright red orange trumpet shaped flowers that can get 3 inches long. Blooming in the summer months, it attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Also known as the Trumpet Vine, it is a tough vine for hot and dry sites. The invasive nature of this plant makes it hard to get rid of, but it is very hardy. It will become less invasive as long as seed pods are removed before they ripen and the plant cut back each spring before new growth develops. The abundant sprays of trumpet-shaped red orange flowers cover this deciduous vine for an extra long bloom season. Trumpet Creepers are often grown with multiple trunks. This vine is a woody climber that grows up to 30 feet tall with the main stem getting about seven inches wide. This plant flowers best in a full sun location. The rapid growth makes it an excellent plant for covering fences or arbors; clinging vines attach themselves to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets. Trumpet Creeper can take the form of a small shrub if it does not have structure to climb. * Fast growing* Vining habit* Bright red orange flowers
