Obedient Plant - Pink Manners
Physostegia (Obedient Plant) Pink Manners, Physostegia virginiana 'Pink Manners', produces flowers that have long spikes in four neat vertical rows, and begin opening from the bottom up! The lovely lavender pink flowers truly stand out against the strong stemmed dark green, glossy foliage.  In midsummer pale pink to white buds open to lavender pink flowers with white throats.  ‘Pink Manners’ is well-behaved and has a clumping habit; it got its common name because you can bend the individual flowers in any direction you like - a nice feature for floral displays.  ‘Pink Manners’ has flowers that remain in position when twisted on the stem! No staking is required on this new strictly upright, strong stemmed, clump forming perennial.  Plant this beautiful ‘Pink Manners’ in beds, borders and cut flower gardens. This plant prefers moist soil high in organic matter and requires average but consistent watering.  Deer resistant.  ‘Pink Manners’ needs a full sun area but will tolerate some afternoon shade, in well-drained soil.   Use ‘Pink Manners’ in borders, mixed plantings, massed plantings (especially to separate other colors), in large containers or as cut flowers.  Try planting it with darker colors such Hemerocallis ‘Little Business’, Platycodon ‘Balloon Flower’ or Veronica ‘Royal Candles’. You will find ‘Pink Manners’ a delight in the garden with its summer-long display of lovely lavender pink flowers and clean, upright and strong stemmed foliage! * Upright habit * Strong stems * Dark glossy foliage

Hosta - Minuteman - DetailsHosta - Minuteman - Sale Price: $56.95
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

It is not uncommon to see peonies planted along the driveway or lane in a mass. Peonies are simple to grow and can be utilized in many ways, including mass plantings, specimens, or hedges. Southerners should seek out our early bloomers and provide afternoon shade. For a neater appearance, remove the seed heads after bloom.

Clematis - Ice Blue - DetailsClematis - Ice Blue - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Ice Blue, Clematis 'Ice Blue™', is a new cultivar with 6-7 white flowers that are frosted with a tinge of blue when it first opens. 'Ice Blue' adds a cool and refreshing look to the garden in May through June and again in September.  The compact habit makes it ideal for a container planting! Clematis 'Ice Blue™' needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also meander 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 'Ice Blue™ is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! * Reliable * Container plant * Compact

The Hibiscus 'Cecelia', Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Cecelia' (also called China rose and common hibiscus), produces a profusion of large, showy red double flowers, set against a background of dark green foliage. It blooms from spring through fall when planted in a well drained, full sun planting site. 'Cecelia' has blooms that cover this lovely shrub from early summer-fall; lovely when planted in the landscape or large patio pots. It will die down to the roots each year only to return bigger and better in the spring. Apply a layer of organic mulch under plants to prevent moisture loss and weed growth.
