Lambs Ear - Hummelo - Sale Price: $39.95 Lambs Ear Hummelo, Stachys monnieri 'Hummelo', produces sturdy spikes of rosy lavender flowers that make an impressive display in mid-summer.  Unlike the more common types of stachys, which have soft silvery foliage, 'Hummelo' has glossy dark green foliage which remains attractive all season! The mounding foliage is heavily textured and this species forms rugged, large, rounded clumps of green, long and narrow, textured leaves.  It is lovely even when it's not in bloom! 'Hummelo' Lamb's Ear needs to be planted in full sun in a well-drained area.  It makes a unique and stunning addition to any sunny border! This plant will add texture and color in rock gardens and looks wonderful with Veronica ‘Goodness Grows’, Tradescantia ‘Concord Grape’ or other purple blooming perennials.

A robust bloomer, this 'Hummelo' Lamb’s Ear is an outstanding garden performer! * Glossy foliage * Mounding habit * Robust

Leadwort - Plumbago - Sale Price: $35.65 The Ceratostigma ‘Plumbago Leadwort’, Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, is a beautiful, fast growing ground cover with dark oval green foliage, turning to dark blue in late summer and early fall. The small blue flowers make this ground cover more unusual than the rest because of its late blooming time.  ‘Plumbago’ reaches a height of 10” and a plant spread of 18-24”.  It can be somewhat invasive (like most ground covers) and should be kept under control. ‘Plumbago’ needs full sun but can tolerate afternoon shade.  For best results, plant in a fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It works great at the front of the perennial border, shrub borders, rock gardens, or as an edging plant. Being a dependable long lived perennial, this leadwort ground cover is hard to beat.  It has pretty blue flowers that bloom in late summer; adds interest when other plants begin to fade!  Even the foliage provides color as it turns a gorgeous bronze red later in the fall!  Try planting ‘Plumbago’ with Achillea ‘Moonshine’ and Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’. * Fast growing * Ground cover * Dependable
