Astilbe - Visions in White
The Astilbe Chinensis Visions in White, 'Astilbe Chinensis PPAF', produces soft, white, triangular flowers that float above green foliage. The ‘Visions in White’ is a robust plant with plumes that offer a striking contrast against the smooth and glossy foliage.   Its mound of smooth, glossy, bronze-green leaves adds elegance to the mixed border all season. These spring blooming beauties are also ideal for containers, and gardens on the edge of woodlands.  For maximum color and impact, mass astilbe in groups in partly shaded gardens.  Astilbe needs well drained, but moist and highly organic soil; humusy forest gardens are a perfect example of where these plants will thrive. The bright clear fragrant flowers reflect dappled sunlight in gardens for a dazzling effect.  Drifts of this ‘Visions in White’ Astilbe are stunning and add an elegantly refined display in the landscape! * White plumes * Attractive foliage * Easy to grow

Hosta - Silver Bay - DetailsHosta - Silver Bay - Sale Price: $39.95
Hosta Silver Bay, Hosta 'Silver Bay', is one of the best new blue hostas on the market, and one of the most talked about hostas in recent years!   The heart-shaped, intense, silver blue leaves form an attractive mound.  The leaves are also thick and heavily corrugated.  Pale lavender flowers top the mound in mid-late summer.  'Silver Bay' is a real winner! 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.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  Plant this low care plant in an area that receives the right amount of light.  The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves.  'Silver Bay' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Silver Bay' has a great spread of 2-3 feet, filling in your shaded space very nicely; a special plant that should be planted in a very special place! * Blue hosta * Easy to grow * Mounding habit
