Hosta - Captain Kirk
Hosta Captain Kirk, Hosta 'Captain Kirk', is a notable, improved sport of the very popular Hosta 'Gold Standard'.  The leaves have bright gold centers that contrast nicely against the dark green margins.  It is much more sun tolerant than other hostas! Plant in an area that receives morning sun for the best golden leaf color.  As you can imagine, the contrast is truly stunning! Each 3' wide clump is topped with lavender flowers in midsummer.  The  thick, waxy leaves resist slugs.  'Captain Kirk' is a low care perennial that needs high-filtered or dappled sunlight for clean, healthy growth.  Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but this hosta can handle more sun that most other hostas. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.   Aren't you about ready to boldly grow what none of your neighbors have grown before? This glowing two-toned beauty is a robust grower, has a neat appearance, and puts on a star performance! * Sun tolerant * Low maintenance * Slug resistant

Hibiscus - Party Favor - DetailsHibiscus - Party Favor - Sale Price: $71.25
Hibiscus Party Favor (Rose Mellow), Hibiscus moscheutos 'Party Favor', forms a large clumping habit that makes this plant a “stand alone” in the landscape because of its extended bloom time! From midsummer until frost, the large, long lasting blooms will create a striking display.  ‘Party Favor’ has large rose-pink buds that open to glossy, medium pink flowers that have overlapping petals with red eye centers.  This hibiscus is a super long-blooming plant that produces large dinner plate-sized 8-10 inch wide pink blossoms! 'Party Favor' has highly dissected, green leaves on nicely branched red stems.  Moist soils are best, but this hardy hibiscus is very drought tolerant as well.  Perennial Hibiscus should be cut back to 4-6 from the ground in the spring. It grows well in any fertile, well-drained soil with ample moisture.  Do not allow to dry to the wilting point.  Be careful to not over-water until plants show signs of growth.  Be patient; hibiscus can be slow to emerge in spring.  For best performance, plant in full sun in moist soil, before the heat of the summer. This hibiscus is suitable for very large containers, but pots must be protected over winter.  'Party Favor' plants will die back to ground level during the winter months. Hibiscus needs little care once established, attracts butterflies, and it has the largest flowers of any perennial! * Large flowers * Easy to grow * Vigorous grower
