Potentilla - Setting Sun
Potentilla - Setting Sun Potentilla - Setting Sun, Potentilla fruticosa 'Setting Sun', is characterized by its compact habit, dense grey-green foliage, and unusual peach colored flowers which bear a darker peach-red eye. These peach-colored flowers set Setting Sun apart from the other cultivars. Also known as Shrubby Cinequefoil, it is a lovely dwarf summer-flowering shrub. This potentilla is ideal for the garden landscape and especially along borders. It adapts well to harsh winter conditions that are long, dull and wet! Surviving in heavy clay, it does require moist well drained soil in full sun with partial shade. Setting Sun is a dense upright shrub that can be planted in early spring after the last frost. Creating a lasting impression, this Setting Sun plant is a sure winner because its blooms will last until the first hard frost! Potentillas attract butterflies!

Holly - Carissa - Sale Price: $64.25 The Holly 'Carissa', Ilex cornuta 'Carissa', is an outstanding dwarf and a dense grower. The leaves are dark glossy green with one spine at the tip. It is well suited for planting along a foundation, and it is excellent for use as a low hedge or in mass plantings. This 'Carissa' does not produce berries. 'Carissa' grows best in rich, well-drained, slightly acid soil, and does well in full sun or part shade. The plant is very drought tolerant, requiring little, if any, irrigation once established in the landscape. Fertilize once or twice to maintain good leaf color and adequate growth. This plant is often used on commercial landscape jobs where it is planted in mass in traffic islands, or planted in beds. If this plant is used as a hedge, prune the plant so it is wider at the bottom than at the top. This allows for light to get in to the bottom foliage and this will help keep the leaves from thinning. The Carissa prefers a pH of 5.0 to 6.5. Zones 6-9. |
