Juniper - Youngstown
The Juniper, Youngstown, Juniperus horizontalis 'Youngstown', is an evergreen and a flat top spreader with bright silvery gray foliage that turns purple in winter. It makes a nice choice to use for a spreading groundcover since it is a very low growing juniper, rarely getting more than 12 inches from the ground. Its prostrate growth habit, with tightly knit branches, creates a full centered look. It works well in rock gardens as a groundcover. For best results, plant in full sun to part shade and in well-drained soil. Youngstown is ideal for rock gardens or arranged around larger rocks or boulders. This plant can withstand thin soils and excessive heat and cold. This deer resistant plant is excellent for erosion control on steep banks!

Daylily - Sombrero Way - DetailsDaylily - Sombrero Way - Sale Price: $49.95
The Daylily Sombrero Way, Hemerocallis 'Sombrero Way', is fast becoming one of the most popular daylilies for gardeners!  It produces large clumps of long grass-like leaves with showy clusters of ruffled, rich orange lily-like blooms on tall stems. It is hard to find a good quality daylily with a nice, solid orange color, but that's what ‘Sombrero Way’ provides!  This mid-summer bloomer is ideal for the middle to back of a border plant because it will grow 2’ tall and as wide. The grass-like foliage is attractive all season long, and it will be back again every year with only minimal winter protection. Try 'Sombrero Way' in mixed beds and borders, containers and large mass plantings.  Plant as a ground cover on slopes, where they form a dense mat in just a few years.; attracts butterflies. This daylily is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. Divide 'Sombrero Way' 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.   'Sombrero Way' flourishes in northern regions because it thrives with minimal attention and care.  The most inept gardener couldn't stop these beauties from brightening up his or her garden! * Solid orange color * Hardy * Durable

Homestead Purple should be placed in full sun in a well-drained soil. Like most fast growing perennials, it responds well to good soil preparation and occasional fertilization.

Hosta - Wide Brim - DetailsHosta - 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
