Lambs Ear - Hummelo
Lambs Ear Hummelo, Stachys monnieri 'Hummelo', produces sturdy spikes of rosy lavender flowers that make an impressive display in mid-summer.  Unlike the more common types of stachys, which have soft silvery foliage, 'Hummelo' has glossy dark green foliage which remains attractive all season! The mounding foliage is heavily textured and this species forms rugged, large, rounded clumps of green, long and narrow, textured leaves.  It is lovely even when it's not in bloom! 'Hummelo' Lamb's Ear needs to be planted in full sun in a well-drained area.  It makes a unique and stunning addition to any sunny border! This plant will add texture and color in rock gardens and looks wonderful with Veronica ‘Goodness Grows’, Tradescantia ‘Concord Grape’ or other purple blooming perennials. The clumps will spread over time to form a dense ground cover. Leaves are evergreen in warm winter climates, but will not do well in harsh winters. A robust bloomer, this 'Hummelo' Lamb’s Ear is an outstanding garden performer! * Glossy foliage * Mounding habit * Robust

Hosta - Halcyon - DetailsHosta - Halcyon - Sale Price: $56.95
Gardeners are always looking for two things: 1) shade plants and 2) blue plants. The Halcyon Hosta is made for the shade and is the most interesting frosty ocean-blue color, earning it the 1997 Award of Merit (AGM). It’s a vigorous (but slower) grower with ribbed, spear-shaped foliage that sits underneath white-to-lavender bell-shaped flowers from July to August — but the real show is the foliage itself. Slug-resistant, attracts hummingbirds during blooming. Halycon Hosta grows in the familiar “fountain” mound shape to about 2’ tall and wide, and prefers full shade in a moist but well-drained spot. Also known as funkia or plantain lily, Hosta Halcyon is a reliable winner that requires little attention. Spectacular when planted in shade borders, around large shade trees and even in large containers. One of the best hostas available. Zones 4-8.

Hosta - Pilgrim - DetailsHosta - Pilgrim - Sale Price: $42.75
Hosta Pilgrim, Hosta 'Pilgrim’, is a knockout Hosta with lovely heart shaped leaves. This fast grower has leaves that exhibit a horizontal habit for classy look! The grey-green leaves have wide margins that start out yellow with grey-blue streaks in the spring and fade to cream by summer.  Lavender flowers in mid-summer. 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.  Plant 'Pilgrim’ 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. For a fantastic display in a shaded area, combine ‘Pilgrim’ with blue and solid green hostas! * Fast grower * Horizontal habit * Heart shaped leaves
