Geranium - Appleblossom
Geranium - Appleblossom The Geranium Appleblossom, Geranium sanguineum 'Apple Blossom', is a unique variety that offers beautiful soft pink flowers that are complemented by distinct leaf zoning and an upright growth habit. The 'Apple Blossom' has excellent vigor and great landscape performance! These full-sized plants are very showy in ground beds and containers because of their large, colorful pink blooms and silvery foliage. Geraniums are grown in almost every region of the country. These plants have succulent leaves and stems and they are commonly called garden geraniums or zonal geraniums. They are excellent in containers of all types from small pots to large tubs to window boxes. Combine 'Apple Blossom' with other plants such as petunias and ivy. They do best when planted in ordinary well-drained soil; over fertilization results in excessive foliage and few flowers. Fertilize lightly every 2 weeks. Pinching of the shoots will promote bushiness; remove spent flowers to enhance flowering. 'Apple Blossom' is one of your best choices for use in hanging baskets! * Hardy * Excellent vigor * Upright growth habit

Coral Bells - Marmalade - Sale Price: $36.95 The Coral Bells Marmalade, Heuchera 'Marmalade' (PP15,945), has maple leafed foliage in varying shades of amber to bronze. Taller shoots of brown colored flowers appear on this evergreen plant in late spring. As it matures to a golden color, the foliage features contrasting hot pink undersides!

'Marmalade' grows best in a rich, well-drained soil; water and fertilize regularly throughout the growing season. Use this coral bell as a ground cover, in rock gardens, as a border plant or as an edging along paths and walkways. This plant looks good when paired with Artemisia, ornamental grasses, or low ground covers. Cold and drought tolerant and withstanding heat and humidity, nothing seems to phase this plant.

| Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle Vine - Sale Price: $57.05 Hummingbirds are attracted to red flowers and sweet nectar, both abundant features of the hybrid Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle. It couldn’t be easier to grow: it will withstand cold winters, put up with drought and doesn’t need anything but a half-day of full sun and some moist, fertile soil to perform at its best. It’s a rugged semi-evergreen climber that’s virtually indestructible, even with haphazard pruning. Each year, from June to September, you can look forward to lightly fragrant masses of scarlet-orange tubular flowers that give way to small red berries in the fall (which the birds just love). Because it’s a vining variety, be sure to give it a sturdy support to climb on soon after it’s planted. Zones 4-8. |

'Plumosa' has a handsome, tightly branched form that creates a ground cover that is versatile. Use in rock gardens and in the foreground of borders. It can also be used for erosion control, in planters, or mass plantings. It tolerates exposed sites and a wide range of soils. |
| Snow in Summer - Silver Carpet - Sale Price: $39.95 Snow in Summer Silver Carpet, Cerastium tomentosum 'Silver Carpet', adds excellent spring color to your rock gardens, or as a border plant. The snow-like mass of little white flowers appears in early spring, and the frosty white, wooly foliage is stunning all season long. This plant flowers profusely and when in full bloom the mounded plant resembles a mound of snow, hence its name. 'Silver Carpet' is deer resistant and also can handle light foot traffic. 'Silver Carpet' is a spreading, mat-like perennial that is perfect for the rock garden, borders, or carpeting any sunny spots. Cerastium tomentosum tolerates drought and will grow in dry to moist soils. Suitable soil is well-drained, loamy or sandy with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Divide in spring or fall if necessary. Trim plant back after flowering to keep it neat and compact. This plant can also become invasive, so it is recommended to shear it back after flowering. * Groundcover * Hardy * Deer Resistant |
| Yarrow - Paprika - Sale Price: $64.25 The Yarrow ‘Paprika’, Achillea millefolium, is an upright gold centered, fading to light pink & creamy yellow, Yarrow that blooms from June through September. With fern-like aromatic silvery to gray-green foliage, it is considered to be one of the best yarrows in any landscape. The foliage has a somewhat strong, spicy aroma, which persists when used in dried arrangements. The flower heads are 3-4” wide, with a spread of 18-24” and a height of 24”. This Yarrow does well in average garden soils, but prefers lean, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil. (Avoid heavy clays and moist, rich, fertile soils.) Yarrow should be planted in full sun and is tolerant to hot humid summers. ‘Paprika’ is excellent for cutting, fresh or dried. Remove faded flowers regularly to promote continued blooming. Inclined to spread, so site this carefully or plan to reduce the clumps each spring. For an attraction to butterflies, deer and rabbit resistant, one can’t go wrong with this plant. |
