Veronica - Giles Van Hees - Sale Price: $49.95 Veronica Giles Van Hees, Veronica 'Giles Van Hees', has long clusters of bright pink flower spikes that top mounds of dark green foliage, adding lively color to your garden. Veronica 'Giles Van Hees' is a dwarf variety standing only 6 tall, making it a perfect plant for containers or the front of the border. Easy to grow, 'Giles Van Hees' will begin flowering in mid-summer attracting butterflies with its sweet nectar. This perennial is tolerant of a wide range of well-drained soil types.

To keep it re-blooming, prune off old flower spikes as they fade. New growth will begin and in a few weeks new flower spikes will emerge.

Grass - Red Switch - Sale Price: $64.25 Grass - Red Switch, Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah', has a more upright form and is the smallest of the Panicum. It is a clump-forming, warm season grass which typically grows in an upright, vertical clump to 3' tall (to 5' when in flower). Its foliage is green, tinged with red during the growing season, then turning bright red in the fall. Nothing comes close to the fall color displayed by this grass, and it retains this color throughout the winter! It will attract birds and is suitable for cut and dried flower arrangements. Red Switch Grass prefers full sun, moist fertile soil, but adapts to a wide range of soil conditions. Red Switch is a warm season grass that likes to grow in warm weather. Before it will show signs of life in the spring, the soil must warm up, and be warm for possibly as long as two weeks. This switch grass can be used very effectively when planted with fall blooming asters. Cut back clumps to the ground in late winter to early spring.

From midsummer until frost, the large, long lasting blooms will create a striking display.  ‘Party Favor’ has large rose-pink buds that open to glossy, medium pink flowers that have overlapping petals with red eye centers.  This hibiscus is a super long-blooming plant that produces large dinner plate-sized 8-10 inch wide pink blossoms! 'Party Favor' has highly dissected, green leaves on nicely branched red stems.  Moist soils are best, but this hardy hibiscus is very drought tolerant as well.  Perennial Hibiscus should be cut back to 4-6 from the ground in the spring. It grows well in any fertile, well-drained soil with ample moisture.  Do not allow to dry to the wilting point.  Be careful to not over-water until plants show signs of growth.  Be patient; hibiscus can be slow to emerge in spring.  For best performance, plant in full sun in moist soil, before the heat of the summer.

Hibiscus needs little care once established, attracts butterflies, and it has the largest flowers of any perennial! * Large flowers * Easy to grow * Vigorous grower
