Grass - Dust Devil
Switch Grass Panicum Dust Devil, Panicum virgatum 'Dust Devil' , is truly the devil of all Panicums, and if you are looking for a hardy and sturdy switch grass, this one is it! This switch grass is quite durable and grows well under stressful conditions. Dust Devil grass will remain standing through winter unless snows are very heavy. The blue-green to green foliage forms an upright, dense clump, and when the season turns to fall, it shows off a hint of deep purple red. Lavender pink flower panicles appear in late summer; flowers turn tan as they age. Dust Devil provides shelter for birds and wildlife during the coldest days of winter. Switch grass gets its name from the soft swishing sound it makes when swaying in the wind. A very versatile grass, Dust Devil adds an architectural design to any landscape. It is effective as a specimen, in masses, alongside ponds or even in a large container. Colorful and hardy, a great combination!

The Hosta Yankee Blue, Hosta 'Yankee Blue', is a vigorous, fast growing blue colored hosta that will command attention in any garden or landscape! ‘Yankee Blue’ has elongated wedge-shaped leaves with wavy margins that hold their blue color all summer, then later in the season, the color changes to blue-green. Near white flowers appear on tall scapes in midsummer.  ‘Yankee Blue’ is a hosta that forms a full, symmetrical, wide mound that really brightens up a shady area. 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.  'Yankee Blue' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 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.  'Yankee Blue’ has a very good substance and excellent vigor, especially for a blue!  This may become your favorite blue hosta yet! * Large plant * Clumping habit * Appealing blue foliage
