Hosta - Empress Wu
The Hosta Empress Wu, Hosta 'Empress Wu', is a very impressive hosta that rises above any other hosta plant! Empress Wu produces a strong clump forming plant that is a fast grower with an outstanding upright growth habit. Measuring 15 or more inches across, the dark green leaves are massive! Because of its size and fast growth rate, Empress Wu demands a soil that is consistently moist but not soggy. In order for Empress Wu to reach its mature growth size, it needs consistent soil moisture and fed three times per season. It was named in honor of the only female emperor to rule China. It is a low care perennial that is ideal for a shady area. This hosta grows best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth.

Daylily - Modern Design - DetailsDaylily - Modern Design - Sale Price: $54.95
Hemerocallis Modern Design, Hemerocallis 'Modern Design', is an excellent and vigorous plant that produces 4 wide blooms.  The flowers are light apricot with a pronounced plum burgundy eye and a matching picotee edge. ‘Modern Design’ is a very good bloomer during the summer, and then reliably follows up with another surge of reblooms later in the season! One of the Designer Daylily™ Collection, it has lightly ruffled petals that are gently recurved. Heat and humidity tolerant, Modern Design is considered a premium daylily because it shows outstanding bloom performance, produces vibrant flowers, and has winter hardiness in northern zones. Individual flowers last only one day, but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last more than a month.  Divide every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline. Use ‘Modern Design’ daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds.  Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies. ‘Modern Design’ makes a beautiful floral arrangement! * Vigorous grower * Large blooms * Rebloomer 

Stokes Aster - Peachie's Pick - DetailsStokes Aster - Peachie's Pick - Sale Price: $39.95
Stokes Aster Peachie's Pick, Stokesia 'Peachie's Pick' PPAF, is a newer variety that produces large blue flowers in mid to late summer, along with healthy dark green foliage. Peachie’s Pick is known to be the longest blooming stokesia on the market! Stokesia 'Peachie's Pick' has a very compact upright habit, growing to just 18 tall and topped with dozens of blooms at a time! This plant looks stunning when planted with Gaillardia 'Fanfare'. 'Peachie's Pink' will do best in a full sun area with morning shade and well-drained soil. It should not stay wet while in dormancy. Great for summer color in beds, borders, or containers. It produces excellent cut flowers. To increase bloom time, deadhead after the initial flowering. Stokes Aster is not particular about soil types but they do need to be kept watered. Heavy, wet, always damp soils will cause the crowns to rot. Soils must be well-drained. Use this plant for summer color in beds, borders, or containers. It produces excellent cut flowers. Plants can be cut back to basal foliage after they finish blooming. * Attracts Butterflies * Deer Resistant * Rabbit Resistant

Hosta - Stained Glass - DetailsHosta - Stained Glass - Sale Price: $42.75
The Hosta Stained Glass, Hosta 'Stained Glass', is a sport of the hosta ‘Guacamole’ and was Hosta of the year in 2006.  It is considered one of the best hostas to be released in years! It has shiny, deeply veined, golden foliage which almost appears to give the leaves a stained glass effect.  Each leaf is surrounded by a dark green margin.  The fragrant lavender flowers of this hosta appear in late summer, providing bright color in shade along with its colorful foliage. ‘Stained Glass’ is a sun tolerant hosta and should be planted in any moist, well-drained spot.  This low care perennial is ideal for tubs and patio pots, and is one of the most popular landscape plants.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! 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.  ‘Stained Glass’ is most at home in woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant.  Since it exhibits some sun tolerance, it can be located in partial sun to partial shade. * Golden foliage * Fragrant flowers * Superb grower

Daylily - Cherry Candy - DetailsDaylily - Cherry Candy - Sale Price: $54.95
Hemerocallis Cherry Candy, Hemerocallis 'Cherry Candy', is an extended bloomer, so its flowers will remain open for at least 16 hours apiece! The lightly scented, 4¼ bloom of ‘Cherry Candy’ opens flat to show off its prominent bright red eye.  The rounded overlapping petals are a light golden orange and are lined with a very fine red edging.   The flowers appear on strong, well-branched scapes; can produce up to 30 buds per scape! Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds. Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies.  ‘Cherry Candy’ also makes a beautiful floral arrangement.   Divide every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline.   Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover.   Daylilies grow best when planted in full sun to partial shade.  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. Because it is a highly performing daylily with gorgeous color and a long blooming habit, ‘Cherry Candy’ is a pleasure to have in any garden! * Long blooming * Hardy * Carefree
