Hosta - Guacamole - Sale Price: $54.95 The Hosta Guacamole, Hosta 'Guacamole', is a medium sized hosta with avocado green, veined foliage with dark green margins.  The 3 foot stems produce flower stalks, bearing fragrant, lily-like white blooms! The white flowers of this fast growing hosta bloom in late summer and provide bright color in shade.  ‘Guacamole’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained spot.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular landscape uses.  One should keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce slugs and snails. 'Guacamole' grows 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. Plant 'Guacamole' in an area that receives the right amount of light.  The leaves need some morning sun to bring the rich golden color out; too much sun will burn the leaves.  This hosta mixes well with ferns. ‘Guacamole’ was named the 2002 Hosta of the Year and is definitely one of the hostas with the most fragrant flowers! * Avocado colored foliage * Fragrant flowers * Low maintenance

Clematis - Franziska Mariaâ„¢ - Sale Price: $42.75 The Clematis Franziska Maria™, 'Clematis', produces gorgeous double blooms!  It outperforms any other double flowered clematis, and the blue-purple blooms are so full they are nearly round when fully open. These show-stopping 4 to 6 inch blossoms will make your neighbors “oooh and ahh” all summer long, even into the early fall! With its stunning blue-purple hue, Franziska Maria™ is sure to become one of your garden favorites. The beautifully formed double flowers are produced on both old and new growth, so there is a repeat flowering pattern. 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. This is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! Franziska Maria™ can be used for both trellising and pots, so it needs a supporting structure, and it is a good plant for growing against fences and walls, and is ideal for small gardens! * Reliable * Double blooms * Climber
