Leadwort - Plumbago - DetailsLeadwort - Plumbago - Sale Price: $35.65
The Ceratostigma ‘Plumbago Leadwort’, Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, is a beautiful, fast growing ground cover with dark oval green foliage, turning to dark blue in late summer and early fall. The small blue flowers make this ground cover more unusual than the rest because of its late blooming time.  ‘Plumbago’ reaches a height of 10” and a plant spread of 18-24”.  It can be somewhat invasive (like most ground covers) and should be kept under control. ‘Plumbago’ needs full sun but can tolerate afternoon shade.  For best results, plant in a fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It works great at the front of the perennial border, shrub borders, rock gardens, or as an edging plant. Being a dependable long lived perennial, this leadwort ground cover is hard to beat.  It has pretty blue flowers that bloom in late summer; adds interest when other plants begin to fade!  Even the foliage provides color as it turns a gorgeous bronze red later in the fall!  Try planting ‘Plumbago’ with Achillea ‘Moonshine’ and Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’. * Fast growing * Ground cover * Dependable 

Clematis - Barbara Harrington - DetailsClematis - Barbara Harrington - Sale Price: $42.75

It has an exceptional free flowering habit and long bloom time: from late June through September. ‘Barbara Harrington’ looks stunning when planted with climbing roses!  This clematis needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs, over walls, cover stumps, and make perfect cover ups for unsightly service areas. 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. Prune this plant back hard at the end of winter to encourage new growth. ‘Barbara Harrington’ is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season on two to get it going!   * Reliable * Lovely flowers * Easy to grow

Peony - Sarah Bernhardt - DetailsPeony - Sarah Bernhardt - Sale Price: $42.75
The Peony 'Sarah Bernhardt', 'Paeonia', a fall planted bulb, is one of the most popular Double Peonies. This gorgeous variety produces large, soft pink flowers, of perfect form with a delightful fragrance. They produce superb, long lasting cut flowers. During late spring-early summer, they fill the garden with fragrance. They will bloom 3 to 4 weeks in late spring. The Peony tolerates some drought but thrives in moist, fertile, well-draining soil. If your soil is extremely acid, add some lime at planting time. Plant the roots with the eyes (buds) pointing up and place them 1 below the soil level. Peonies usually take a few years to establish and bloom heavily. Staking is recommended. Peonies attract butterflies and are great cut flowers and borders. They are also deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.

Coreopsis - Sunny Day - DetailsCoreopsis - Sunny Day - Sale Price: $49.95
Coreopsis - Sunny Day, Coreopsis grandiflora 'Sunny Day', begins to bloom in late spring and continues to bloom throughout the summer.  This North American native provides an abundance of large, single yellow flowers on compact plants! This coreopsis is not picky about its soil, as long as it’s well-drained.  Keep deadheaded for best flowering.  As with many perennials this plant will benefit from being divided and reset in the fall every one to two years.   Shear back plants after the first wave of flowering to promote reblooming.  Remove old foliage after frost or before new growth in spring. ‘Sunny Day’ is a splendid plant for cheery cut flower arrangements, beds, borders, and containers. Since it thrives in poor soil and has low water needs, ‘Sunny Day’ will easily add beauty and sunshine to any trouble spot in your garden! * Easy to grow * Long blooming * Brilliant color
