Hosta - Fireworks
Hosta Fireworks, Hosta 'Fireworks' (PP#16,062), is a dwarf, narrow margined, small sport of Hosta 'Loyalist'.  It has very unique, upright foliage! The creamy white leaves of 'Fireworks' are very narrow and have a two-tone green margin that streak around the edges.  At only 10 high, Hosta 'Fireworks' is perfect for the smaller garden.  The very pretty light lavender flowers appear on 12 inch scapes in midsummer.  Add a small sized blast of thick green and white leaves to your garden with this hardy hosta, and it will regale you with delicate lavender flowers in early summer! This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions.  'Fireworks' grows 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. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth.   Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! 'Fireworks' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. With its incredible two-toned foliage, this charming, small hosta will certainly be outstanding in a small shaded area! * Dwarf * Hardy * Upright habit

Bred for excellent disease resistance, this clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine.

Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle Vine - DetailsDropmore 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.
