Hosta - Dream Weaver - DetailsHosta - Dream Weaver - Sale Price: $39.95
Hosta Dream Weaver, Hosta 'Dream Weaver', is a choice sport of the very popular Hosta 'Great Expectations'.  The large, distinctive leaves have thick substance and very wide 3 blue-green margins that make a dramatic contrast against the creamy white leaf centers.

It forms a generous mound that really stands out from the rest. This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions.  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. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth.  Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! 'Dream Weaver' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Dream Weaver' will become a favorite since it makes a grand statement wherever it is planted! * Low maintenance * Versatile * Large leaves

Daylily - Kokomo Sunsetâ„¢ - DetailsDaylily - Kokomo Sunsetâ„¢ - Sale Price: $49.95
The Daylily 'Kokomo Sunset', Hemerocallis 'TP 06-02', is an early-blooming daylily that has 4 inch wide, deep golden blooms with burgundy-red eyes. The blooms have a light ruffled edge and a green throat. Because it has a long bloom season and multiple flowering cycles, the 'Kokomo Sunset' is perfect for mass planting and perennial beds! 'Kokomo Sunset' has short, grassy foliage, clean shedding of old blooms, prolonged reblooming that extends the season, and rapid increase of divisions.  Compact plants and short flower scapes and foliage of this daylily eliminate blow-over in garden centers common to taller daylilies. This daylily matures to 14-18 inches tall and the flowering begins 6 to 8 weeks earlier than standard commercial varieties, and the flowers develop even during cooler weather and cold nights! Daylilies 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. These plants can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone). As a gardener, you will be captivated by the colorful display of this marvelous daylily, and how 'Kokomo Sunset' has such a wide range of soil and – and cool weather tolerance! * Short flower scapes * Compact foliage * Early bloomer

This plant will perform in the full sun but will tend to disappear in mid-summer when it has all the sun it can handle.  It usually pops back up the following spring. It is best to plant it in fertile but well-drained soils.  ‘Candy Hearts’ prefers consistently moist, humus-rich soils that are similar to a great woodland soil -- full of organic matter and richly fertile. The simplest way to mimic this is to add several shovels of compost around the base of the plant every spring. This charming, yet stunning Bleeding Hearts, will literally light up your shady areas in your garden! * Heart-shaped flowers * Dwarf variety * Shade
