Phlox - Creeping Pink
Phlox - Creeping Pink The Phlox 'Creeping Pink', Phlox subulata 'Pink', makes a carpet of color and evergreen foliage and provides year round beauty and cover. 'Creeping Pink' plants are covered with a mass of pink flowers during April and May. This carefree wonder quickly blankets even tough problem areas with dense green foliage and thousands of colorful blooms. Plant 8-12 apart in any moist soil and in full sun to partial shade. A feeding of compost in the spring is all this plant requires in the way of food. Prune after flowering or late summer to create a healthier plant and to encourage denser growth. 'Creeping Pink' is a good plant to use with your spring flowering bulbs such as Tulips and Daffodils. Often used as a ground cover, an edging plant or for planting in cracks and walls. It is good for naturalizing an area. It does prefer a well-drained soil, and clay water logged soils will lead to winter rotting. * Excellent rock garden plant * Use in pots and containers for spilling effect

| Hosta - Celestial - Sale Price: $42.75 Hosta Celestial, Hosta 'Celestial', is a large plant that has deeply corrugated, rounded leaves that measure 12-15 long! 'Celestial' has dark green leaves with a greenish yellow color swept across the margins, and then brightens to a creamy white in the summer. In midsummer, pale lavender flowers are produced on 33” to 36” scapes. This new variety is considered by some hosta experts to be an improvement over ‘Northern Halo' and other white edged sieboldiana types. This cream-edged, low care perennial is ideal for shady positions. It is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Celestial' needs high-filtered or dappled sunlight for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! 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. This hosta offers attractive corrugated green leaves with a wide cream border! * Low maintenance * Tall scapes * Large cream-edged leaves |

| Daylily - Cherry Candy - Sale Price: $54.95 Hemerocallis Cherry Candy, Hemerocallis 'Cherry Candy', is an extended bloomer, so its flowers will remain open for at least 16 hours apiece! The lightly scented, 4¼ bloom of ‘Cherry Candy’ opens flat to show off its prominent bright red eye.

Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds. Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies. ‘Cherry Candy’ also makes a beautiful floral arrangement.
