Daylily - El Desperado
The Daylily El Desperado, Hemerocallis 'El Desperado' (Stamile, '91), has large, mustard yellow flowers with a bold and contrasting purple eye above a green throat with green foliage. ‘El Desperado’ is a popular daylily among daylily lovers!  It adds an extremely high bud count and an extended 16-hour bloom time that lets you enjoy blooms in the late afternoon and evening. It will bloom early in the season and then repeat bloom late in the season.  It can survive harsh conditions that many other plants cannot and prefers full sun for the best performance. Daylilies are some of the easiest plants to grow and are a good choice for any gardener.  They will grow in almost any soil and handle drought to wet soil conditions. In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust. Use 'El Desperado' for stand alone plantings, edging, in borders or in mixed containers and tubs.  Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover. Because it blooms in late summer when other plants begin to lose their luster, ‘El Desperado’ is a tried-and-true first class performer that stands out in any landscape! * Extended bloom time * Dramatic and exquisite * Popular

Hosta - Empress Wu - DetailsHosta - Empress Wu - Sale Price: $64.25
The Hosta Empress Wu, Hosta 'Empress Wu', is a very impressive hosta that rises above any other hosta plant! Empress Wu produces a strong clump forming plant that is a fast grower with an outstanding upright growth habit. Measuring 15 or more inches across, the dark green leaves are massive! Because of its size and fast growth rate, Empress Wu demands a soil that is consistently moist but not soggy. In order for Empress Wu to reach its mature growth size, it needs consistent soil moisture and fed three times per season. It was named in honor of the only female emperor to rule China. It is a low care perennial that is ideal for a shady area. This hosta grows best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth.

Beebalm - Coral Reef - DetailsBeebalm - Coral Reef - Sale Price: $42.75
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

Kiwi Vine - Arctic Beauty Male - DetailsKiwi Vine - Arctic Beauty Male - Sale Price: $42.75
Kiwi Vine - Arctic Beauty Male, Actinidia Kolomikta - Male, is a great climbing plant that is extremely appealing. This vine is grown for its heart-shaped foliage, which opens purple and matures to bright green. It is marked with splashes of white and pink. Arctic Beauty's flowers, though fragrant, are inconspicuous since they are often hidden by the foliage. One male plant will pollinate 6 female plants. Grapelike berries are produced only by the female plant, are edible, and ripen in the fall. Train Arctic Beauty Male to cover a fence or arbor. It can grow to twenty feet, provides great texture, and adds a wonderful appearance to any landscape. Plant in sun to partial shade. Attracts butterflies The Arctic Beauty Kiwi tends to make no fruits unless you have other cultivars or more than three plants - it's a hit and miss to find if you have male plants or female plants as you need one of each to product fruits. This species is dioecious (separate male and female plants), and the male plants reportedly have better leaf variegation than the female plants.

Mondo Grass - DetailsMondo Grass - Sale Price: $56.95
The Grass 'Mondo', Ophiopogon japonicus, is an evergreen perennial which forms a dense clump of grass-like leaves; similar in appearance to Liriope, but finer textured with thinner blades. ('Mondo' actually is a member of the lily family despite its appearance and common name.) The leaves emerge in clumps from a network of rhizomes that grow just below the soil surface.  With age, the clumps will merge to form a soft dense carpet of foliage.  The small light purple flowers appear in summer, but are of little interest since they are hidden in the dense foliage, and so are the small blue-black berries that follow. It can be used as a bed edge or as a groundcover in a shady area.  It is important for erosion control since the dense mat of roots holds the ground well; avoid planting it near moist areas because it will take over! 'Mondo' Grass can also be used as an evergreen in planters, either alone or mixed with seasonal annuals for color. ‘Mondo’ has a rich green color that helps to provide definition, allowing the features of the garden to really stand out.  (Its height will not compete with the features of other plants).  Plant this lush, hardy grass with slender blades that requires no mowing! * Dense clumping habit * Mat forming * Groundcover

Coral Bells - Venus - DetailsCoral Bells - Venus - Sale Price: $49.95
The Coral Bells Venus, 'Heuchera 'Venus', displays large, silvery foliage with deep green veining. The near white flowers appear above the foliage in late spring. This plant will reach 15 inches tall with a spread of 24 inches. The Venus Coral Bells makes an excellent accent plant, border plant, container plant, and for massing. Coral Bells are easy to grow and blend in nicely with many other perennials in the landscape. Coral Bells are grown more for their foliage color but the small blooms that they contain will attract hummingbirds.
