The large, yellow-gold leaves have ruffled, dark green edges with multiple shades of green.  The oval shape of the slightly textured leaves give this plant added interest.  Its exquisite leaf form and good substance make 'Journey's End' a garden must! Pale lavender, nearly white, tubular flowers bloom in June and July. 'Journey's End' 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 'Journey's End' in an area that receives the right amount of light.  The leaves need some morning sun to bring the rich color out; too much sun will burn the leaves.  This is a beautiful upright Hosta plant with great colors. 'Journey's End' needs lots of space to grow and spread since the ruffled leaves are quite large, measuring 14 inches long by 10 inches wide! * Large leaves * Clumping habit * Low maintenance

Its sweet scent is an added bonus and is sure to get the attention of anyone who walks by! ‘Terniflora’ is very impressive with its deep green leathery leaves and profuse blooming.  Flowers give way to attractive, plume-like seed heads. Clematis 'Terniflora' needs a supporting structure to grow properly and it is easy to grow with a rich, porous, alkaline soil that has plenty of room for the roots to spread.  It can be kept smaller with pruning. Because of its extremely rampant growth habit this clematis may need hard pruning in fall or early spring. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, but will thrive and bloom in shade. Apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine.  Very reliable performers once established; they take a season or two. Plant this vigorous, deciduous, twining vine over a backyard fence or trellis for privacy.  Enjoy the blooms and fragrance of the flowers until fall! * Rampant grower * Fragrant * Reliable

Grass - Dewey Blue Switch - DetailsGrass - Dewey Blue Switch - Sale Price: $64.25
The Switch Grass 'Dewey Blue', Panicum amarum 'Dewey Blue', is a native grass with exceptional color and great practical value. Its bold, blue-gray foliage is very attractive and ideal for infertile, dry, hot, sandy soils. This native spreads slowly by rhizomes, making it an important grass for hillsides and erosion control. The open, graceful, tan flowers appear in the fall and create interest throughout the winter months. It prefers less fertile, drier soils. If the soil is fertile and moist, it may have problems remaining upright. 'Dewey Blue' grass is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution and is very tolerant of high heat and humidity! Plant in spring when the soil is warm, since the roots will grow only in warm soil. Planting too early in the spring may cause the roots to rot. * Colorful * Hot weather plant * Hardy
