Virginalis Water Lily
This very reliable water lily is one of the most prolific varieties available, and its smaller size makes it a perfect choice for anything from a container garden to a small or medium-sized pond. Many growers feel this is the finest white hardy lily due to its freedom of bloom and always-dependable performance. The white flowers are 4-6 inches wide, the leaves are 8-9 inches wide, and the overall plant spread is 3-4 feet wide. This plant grows best in full to partial sun. We recommend growing ‘Virginalis’ in a 7.5 quart container (available from naturehills.com). Also available from naturehills.com is Aquatic Planting Media and Lilytabs Water Lily Fertilizer. Cannot be shipped to: CA, MT, OR, WA or WY. Please watch the video below to see exactly what happens after you place your order with us, including how we harvest the water lilies. Also contained in the video is how you should plant and care for you water lily once you receive it.

This plant is pest and disease free and it is drought tolerant when it is established. Birds love the seeds! Use this plant in beds, cut flowers, borders, for fall color, and as an ornamental.

Clematis - Bonanza - DetailsClematis - Bonanza - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Bonanza, Clematis 'Bonanza™', is a newly developed clematis and part of The Festoon Collection.  This new Evison/Poulsen clematis is extremely free flowering from late June through September. The flowers of ‘Bonanza’ are mauve-blue with pale yellow anthers and are 3 in size.  Do not underestimate the flower power of this variety because of the smaller flower size! Bred for excellent disease resistance, this 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. 'Bonanza' Clematis needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs, over walls, cover stumps, and make perfect cover ups for unsightly service areas. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. This clematis is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two for it to get going! * Reliable * Flower power * Climber 

Yarrow - Paprika - DetailsYarrow - Paprika - Sale Price: $64.25
The Yarrow ‘Paprika’, Achillea millefolium, is an upright gold centered, fading to light pink & creamy yellow, Yarrow that blooms from June through September. With fern-like aromatic silvery to gray-green foliage, it is considered to be one of the best yarrows in any landscape. The foliage has a somewhat strong, spicy aroma, which persists when used in dried arrangements. The flower heads are 3-4” wide, with a spread of 18-24” and a height of 24”. This Yarrow does well in average garden soils, but prefers lean, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil. (Avoid heavy clays and moist, rich, fertile soils.) Yarrow should be planted in full sun and is tolerant to hot humid summers. ‘Paprika’ is excellent for cutting, fresh or dried. Remove faded flowers regularly to promote continued blooming. Inclined to spread, so site this carefully or plan to reduce the clumps each spring. For an attraction to butterflies, deer and rabbit resistant, one can’t go wrong with this plant.

The pale lavender flowers of this fast growing hosta appear in early summer on 2 foot stems, providing bright color in shade.   ‘Paul's Glory’ is a low care perennial that is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and is one of the most popular landscape plants.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  'Paul's Glory' is at home in well 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.

Hosta experts believe that 'Paul's Glory' is one of the best gold Hostas available! * Heart shaped leaves * Gold coloration * Fast grower
