Hollyhock - Crème de Cassis
Hollyhock Crème de Cassis, Alcea 'Crème de Cassis', has tall stalks that are covered with showy 3-4 white edged blooms with scrumptious raspberry centers. This mouthwatering color combination, makes this stunning Hollyhock so unique. Scrumptious veined flowers in juicy blackcurrant, fade to paler berry shades around the edges of each bloom. This treat gets even sweeter with 'Crème de Cassis' semi-double, and single flowers, bloom on the same stems! Alcea is a wonderful plant near the back of the border, working great along walls or fences. May need to be staked if planted in a windy site. Rich, moist, well-drained soil is essential. Hollyhocks can be grown under Black Walnut trees; they are tolerant of the toxic juglone that is emitted through the trees roots.

If you deadhead individual flowers this will maintain a neat and colorful plant appearance. New growth shoots are slow to emerge in spring, however, once new growth begins, it proceeds quite rapidly; provide regular fertilization during this growing season.

Coneflower - Meringue - DetailsConeflower - Meringue - Sale Price: $49.95
Coneflower Meringue, Echinacea purpurea 'Meringue' PPAF, produces creamy yellow pom-poms with apple green centers, set atop white ray petals, creating this delicious meringue coneflower. As the flower ages, Echinacea 'Meringue' PPAF, opens as flat as a daisy, and as it matures the center cone grows upward and develops short, puffy petals that give it that gumdrop look. A delight for songbirds, this distinctive knee high variety was introduced by AB Cultivars and blooms from mid to late summer. 'Meringue' has a huge number of blooms which is marvelous, but it's the compact, easily controlled habit that is so impressive! The  sturdy stems carry the blossoms from midsummer to fall.  For best results, plant in full sun in a well drained area. Echinacea is known for its large flower heads that turn to seed in the fall. It is a great choice for cut flowers, and it adds a wilderness look to your garden. ‘Meringue' usually reblooms without deadheading, but if spent flowers are removed, this procedure will encourage continued beautiful blooms and improves general appearance. If you leave some spent blooms on the plants in fall their seeds provide winter food for birds.  You can enjoy the dried seed heads as well, because they will provide architectural interest in the winter. Meringue' will give you weeks of delicious color and makes a dependable and lovely plant for any sunny garden spot!    * Fragrant * Hardy * Small and compact
