The white flowers bloom from July to August, and this plant has a height of 30” and a spread of 48-60”.  'Elegans' provides bright color in shade with its colorful textured foliage. Hosta ‘Elegans’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained area.  This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular for landscape uses.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions.  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.

'Elegans' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. This blue-green giant hosta will certainly be outstanding wherever it is planted! * Textured * Heart shaped leaves * Blue-green foliage

Clematis Cardinal Wyszynski, Clematis 'Cardinal Wyszynski', will dazzle your garden with huge 8 glowing crimson flowers! The vibrant flowers are accented with darker crimson anthers and light pink filaments.  Very free flowering,  the clematis 'Cardinal Wyszynski' received the Golden Medal at 'Plantarium' in 1990.

Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread.

Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. Clematis Cardinal Wyszynski is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! * Reliable * Bright crimson red flower * Vigorous
