Liriope - Silver Dragon
The Liriope 'Silver Dragon', Liriope spicata 'Silver dragon', is an attractive evergreen perennial that grows 10 to 12 inches tall; has dark green, grass-like leaves that are vertically striped with white vertical striping. 'Silver Dragon' is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.  Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring; prune in winter. The erect flower spikes with pale lavender flowers appear, somewhat hidden, among the leaves in late summer.  The flowers often give way to greenish berries in fall.   This ‘Silver Dragon’ Liriope spreads by underground rhizomes and makes a wonderful groundcover; can be used for erosion control; also plant under tough areas such as shallow rooted trees or along ponds or streams. The bright variegated leaves make a super edging plant that highlights partially shaded beds; brings a sense of light into darker plantings or woodland gardens too. ‘Silver Dragon’ can be paired with large-leafed, shade loving varieties like Heuchera, Elephant Ear and Hydrangea to set off the narrow, grass-like foliage! * Evergreen * Erect flower spikes * Berries in fall

Hosta Remember Me, Hosta 'Remember Me', is named in honor of Sandy De Boer, a former employee of Walters Gardens Inc. who died of breast cancer in 2001.  Walters Gardens Inc. makes a donation for every plant sold of 'Remember Me' to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Hosta 'Remember Me' is a beautiful white centered selection of Hosta 'June'.  The small mounds of creamy white foliage with blue-green margins make excellent plants for smaller areas or in front of the border.  'Remember Me' demonstrates many of the same outstanding qualities of 'June', like good slug resistance and thick healthy foliage.  Lavender flowers add additional beauty to this hosta! 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.  'Remember Me' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Remember Me’ honors not only Sandy, but the thousands of women who fight this life threatening disease every day! * Slug resistance * Thick foliage * Small mounded habit
