Beebalm - Coral Reef
The Bee Balm 'Coral Reef', Monarda didyma 'Coral Reef', is a brilliant, neon coral-pink Bee Balm! This new selection has a habit similar to ‘Marshall's Delight’ and has demonstrated fairly good mildew resistance. Growing to 36-42 inches tall, 'Coral Reef' is an easy-to-grow native with hundreds of coral-pink flowers. Blooming in midsummer, it is a long-blooming and clean selection. This tough and aromatic plant attracts butterflies and hummingbirds with its sweetly scented flowers.   It spreads enthusiastically in moist soil, but is more restrained in the average garden.   It is best to deadhead regularly for repeat blooms, removing the spent flower and its stem down to the next bud or basal foliage.  Grow in full sun average to moist soil with good drainage.  Water well after planting and regularly until established. The exceptionally large, hot-pink blooms are long-lasting, so plant ‘Coral Reef’ where it can show off its bright color. * Drought tolerant * Aromatic * Mildew Resistant

Clematis - Bourbon - DetailsClematis - Bourbon - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Bourbon, Clematis 'Bourbon™', is a new and exciting compact clematis from Raymond J. Evison.  Evison specifically hybridized this prized variety for patio containers! Its compact growth reaches only 3-4 feet tall, which makes it a perfect fit for large patio pots.  'Clematis Bourbon' is equally happy, though, when grown in the ground and allowed to scramble up a small trellis. The large 6 inch flowers are red with bright purple bars in the center of each petal. Flowers rebloom throughout the summer for an incredible display! Clematis 'Bourbon™' 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. 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. Clematis 'Bourbon™' is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going. * Reliable * Bright flowers * Small climber
