Hosta - Old Glory
Hosta Old Glory, Hosta 'Old Glory' (PP#12,503), will add color to your landscape foliage with this medium size Designer Hosta from Shady Oaks Nursery.  Hosta 'Old Glory' PP12503 is a sport of 'Glory' and has sweet, heart-shaped leaves with golden yellow centers. This golden yellow hosta has a 1 slightly rippled, dark green margin.  In midsummer, 24 scapes are produced that display soft light lavender flowers.  This fast growing sport of Hosta 'Glory' will take your breath away! This is a low care perennial and is ideal for shady positions and is one of the most popular for landscapes.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. It is most at home in well 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. Plant 'Old Glory' 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. This 'Old Glory' Hosta is a very vigorous grower forming three feet wide clumps in a relatively short time.  It is a fairly new hosta and hard to find, so it will be sold out quickly! * Mounded habit * Heart shaped leaves * Fast grower

Clematis - Sweet Autumn - DetailsClematis - Sweet Autumn - Sale Price: $56.45
Clematis - Sweet Autumn, Clematis maximowicziana, is a deciduous vine with a rampant growth habit and reaches 10' to 20' high. Its fragrant white flowers grow up to 0.5 inches across and continues to bloom late summer through fall.  The white, citrus-scented flowers fade into feathery seed heads, and last until winter. Sweet Autumn prefers loamy, somewhat moist, well-drained soil. Provide a location where its head is in the sun and toes in the shade. Mulch around bottom to keep ground temperatures cool and moist.  Give direct sun to encourage their large, showy blooms, but it will tolerate some shade. Sweet Autumn attaches to supports with twining leafstalks, and it will climb up trellises, walls, poles, trees and over shrubs. * Rampant growth habit * Fragrant * Tolerates some shade

Grass - Bowles Golden Sedge - DetailsGrass - Bowles Golden Sedge - Sale Price: $59.95
Bowles Golden Sedge Grass, Carex elata 'Bowles Golden', has dazzling bright gold foliage with narrow green margins that make Carex 'Bowles Golden' really stand out in the garden. The attractive arching habit and its bright foliage color make a great companion plant for Heucheras. This variety thrives in consistently moist soils, and it can also be grown in shallow water at the edge of a garden pond. The more sun, the more color you get in the foliage! It is an excellent choice as a highlight plant for a shade or water garden. Since Carex Bowles Golden is a moisture loving grass, and will grow in shallow water, it looks great around a pond with blue hostas. In northern climates, it should be kept from winter winds and provided with some protection such as snow or straw. If plants look tattered in early spring, cut them back to the ground. The new foliage will quickly fill back in. Add color to your landscape!

Clematis - Sunset - DetailsClematis - Sunset - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Sunset, Clematis 'Sunset', is aptly named because this clematis will dazzle your garden with gorgeous deep plum-red flowers, with purple highlights that resemble the colors of a magnificent sunset! Each textured petal has a satiny cerise central bar. The buttery-yellow anthers are also a wonderful accent. It is a very free flowering variety which reblooms in late summer with masses of flowers. Clematis 'Sunset' needs a supporting structure to grow properly and it is easy to grow with a rich, porous, alkaline soil that has plenty of room for the roots to spread. Clematis can be grown in full sun or light shade, but its base and roots must be completely shaded.  Prune lightly above the new leaf buds in early spring and remove any dead or weak stems. 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. Clematis ‘Sunset’ is a reliable performer once established; it take a season or two to get going. Enjoy these exquisite, purple-highlighted flowers in a container on your patio! * Extravagant blooms * Graceful habit * Reliable
