Peony - President Roosevelt
Peony - President Roosevelt Peony President Roosevelt, Paeonia lactiflora 'President Roosevelt', is a favorite for a mid spring display and boasts brilliant double red and striking very large semi-rose flowers. Its pronounced yellow stamens add a nice contrast. The flowers have good stems, are richly fragrant, and make great cut flowers. Peony President Roosevelt seldom needs to be divided or moved, but if it is needed, it should be done in the fall. Trim off old stems to the ground in late fall too, to help prevent disease problems. Peony President Roosevelt will flower best in a sunny location with very well-composted soil. Peonies are herbaceous perennials arising from thickened tuberous roots that are invisible and hidden underground most of the year.

| Hosta - Yankee Blue - Sale Price: $39.95 The Hosta Yankee Blue, Hosta 'Yankee Blue', is a vigorous, fast growing blue colored hosta that will command attention in any garden or landscape! ‘Yankee Blue’ has elongated wedge-shaped leaves with wavy margins that hold their blue color all summer, then later in the season, the color changes to blue-green. Near white flowers appear on tall scapes in midsummer. ‘Yankee Blue’ is a hosta that forms a full, symmetrical, wide mound that really brightens up a shady area. Plant this low care plant 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. 'Yankee Blue' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 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. 'Yankee Blue’ has a very good substance and excellent vigor, especially for a blue! This may become your favorite blue hosta yet! * Large plant * Clumping habit * Appealing blue foliage |
