Dwarf Mondo Grass
Ornamental Grass Great for Boarders and Groundcover Dwarf Mondo Grass is an ornamental grass with a summer bloom. It would make a wonderful groundcover or a border in your perennial bed. Your Dwarf Mondo Grass is a grass similar to lawn grass, with a dark green color. As it grows it abandons its erect stance and adopts a rather elegant manner, slightly bowing for a gentle, soft appearance. In the summer tiny blue flowers form, resembling little balls, adding a bit of additional decorative appeal. Dwarf Mondo Grass is a low growing grass that grows to about 4 inches, so if you use it as a lawn substitute keeping it short won’t be a problem, and you won’t spend all your weekends mowing it. It’s drought resistant, so no need to water. Even pests seem to avoid it, eliminating the need for costly pesticides. It also develops a thick mat of roots so planting it against foundations can aid in dealing with water run-off. Two of the enemies of grasses, deer and bunnies, tend to leave it alone, and it can even handle heavy traffic so using it around paving stones would be no problem at all. Dwarf Mondo Grass is durable, hardy grass with ornamental appeal. Try some today to begin enjoying its stellar qualities. * Ornamental* Durable* Deer resistant

Clematis - Warsaw Nike - DetailsClematis - Warsaw Nike - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Warsaw Nike, Clematis 'Warsaw Nike', produces mysteriously dark violet-red 5 flowers that have a velvety texture with contrasting golden stamens. The ruffled petals overlap each other and have curled edges. 'Warsaw Nike' is more tolerant of shady sites and poor soils than most clematis.  Received the 1990 Word of Recommendation by the judging committee of the Royal Boskoop Horticultural Society, as well as the Silver Medal at 'Planetarium'. Clematis 'Warsaw Nike' needs a supporting structure to grow properly and it is easy to grow with a rich, porous, alkaline soil that has plenty of room for the roots to spread. Prune lightly above the new leaf buds in early spring and remove any dead or weak stems. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, but will thrive and bloom in shade.  Apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. This clematis is more shade tolerant than many others, making it a perfect choice for north-facing and dappled-sun gardens. Plant this wonderful 'Warsaw Nike' for its ease of culture, free rebloom, and great beauty! * Easy to grow * Shade tolerant * Luxuriant flowers

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
