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 - Sagae - DetailsHosta - Sagae - Sale Price: $56.95
Hosta Sagae, Hosta 'Sagae', displays frosty green leaves with creamy yellow margins that form very large impressive clumps.  Hosta 'Sagae' is one of our favorites! With very heavy substance and good slug resistance, 'Sagae' provides pale lavender flowers on 34 scapes in mid-summer. Winner of numerous awards including: the 1982 Trophy Award, 1987 Benedict Award, and 2000 American Hosta Growers Society Hosta of the Year. 'Sagae' is considered to be the most dramatic variegated hosta ever introduced.  Plants mature into breath-taking specimens reaching 6' in width! 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.  'Sagae' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. Because it makes such a bold statement, 'Sagae' sells out quickly, so if you want this plant, order it now! * Variegated leaves * Slug resistance * Upright habit

Dianthus - Fire and Ice - DetailsDianthus - Fire and Ice - Sale Price: $39.95
Dianthus Fire and Ice, Dianthus 'Fire and Ice', displays a rich, deep pink raspberry color.  It is a stunning and fragrant 1-1½ flower that is splashed with light pink dots and trimmed with nearly smooth cool white picotee edging. ‘Fire and Ice’ is unlike some dianthus in that it has nearly smooth edged petals.  It offers a profusion of flowers with a lovely sweet fragrance that will attract butterflies! The grey-green foliage of this dianthus, and its rounded compact habit, make it a fabulous plant for borders, in mass, or containers.  Add a layer of mulch to protect the evergreen foliage in colder climates, but once the weather becomes warmer, remove the mulch. This will prevent root rot. ‘Fire and Ice’ needs a sunny site with well-drained soil, but will tolerate some shade in the afternoon along with humidity.  Regular watering during prolonged dry spells will be necessary.  However, this plant is tolerant of short periods of dryness. The charming flowers look wonderful as a border plant, rock gardens, along walks or paths, for edging and a definite in cottage gardens. ‘Fire and Ice’ provides showers of cheerful raspberry colored flowers that are dappled in pink.  You can enjoy them in early spring, and again in early fall! * Easy to grow * Hardy * Drought tolerant
