Mountain Bluet - Bachelors Button - Sale Price: $35.65 The Centaurea ‘Bachelor's Button’, Centaurea montana, also known as Cornflower and Blue Bottle, has small thistle-like single flowers at the end of a delicate stem.  These radiant flowers are bright blue and very showy, with gray-green foliage. With a height of 24” and a plant width of 12-24”, it is an excellent late summer to early fall bloomer.  If cut back after blooming, it will continue to produce new blooms throughout the season. Centaurea ‘Bachelor's Button’ is tolerant of cool winters.  Plant in a location with poor, dry, to moderately moist, well-drained soil in full sun; sun will help it to bloom throughout early to mid-summer. The gray-green, lance-shaped foliage adds contrast to this plant, and it knows no serious insect or disease problems.  Use Centaurea ‘Bachelor's Button’ massed in border fronts, cottage gardens or naturalized areas.   For a stunning effect, plant with other perennials, like ‘Illumination’ Vinca, ‘Variegated’ Sedum or Echinacea ‘Purple Coneflower’. This flower is simple to grow and maintain, so is a great plant to share with friends! * Cold tolerant * Gray-green foliage * Showy flowers

Hosta - Remember Me - Sale Price: $39.95 Hosta Remember Me, Hosta 'Remember Me', is named in honor of Sandy De Boer, a former employee of Walters Gardens Inc. who died of breast cancer in 2001.  Walters Gardens Inc. makes a donation for every plant sold of 'Remember Me' to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Hosta 'Remember Me' is a beautiful white centered selection of Hosta 'June'.  The small mounds of creamy white foliage with blue-green margins make excellent plants for smaller areas or in front of the border.  'Remember Me' demonstrates many of the same outstanding qualities of 'June', like good slug resistance and thick healthy foliage.  Lavender flowers add additional beauty to this hosta! 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 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.  'Remember Me' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Remember Me’ honors not only Sandy, but the thousands of women who fight this life threatening disease every day! * Slug resistance * Thick foliage * Small mounded habit

Leadwort - 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

Marliacea Carnea Water Lily - Sale Price: $29.95 The faint blush pink of the flowers look almost white on first glance.  This outstanding ‘Marliacea Carnea’ water lily is suited to any size pond, particularly medium to large ponds.  It even tends to bloom in partially shaded ponds! This free-flowering variety was hybridized by Latour-Marliac Nurseries in 1880, and it is still considered one of their finest creations.   It needs plenty of space to grow, so makes an excellent choice for a lake or large, deep, wildlife pond.  Its dark green leaves create a shady underwater habitat for native fish and amphibians.  The faint pink flowers are 4-5 inches wide, the leaves are 7-8 inches wide, and the overall plant spread is 4-5 feet.  Blooming from June to September, the showy, vanilla-scented, semi-double, pale pink flowers with golden-yellow centers are a colorful addition to any pond! We recommend growing this water lily in a 7.5 quart or larger container (available from naturehills.com).  Also available from naturehills.com is Aquatic Planting Media and Lilytabs Water Lily Fertilizer. Cannot be shipped to: CA, MT, OR, WA or WY. * Vigorous grower * Part shade * Fragrant

Clematis - Franziska Mariaâ„¢ - Sale Price: $42.75 The Clematis Franziska Maria™, 'Clematis', produces gorgeous double blooms!  It outperforms any other double flowered clematis, and the blue-purple blooms are so full they are nearly round when fully open. These show-stopping 4 to 6 inch blossoms will make your neighbors “oooh and ahh” all summer long, even into the early fall! With its stunning blue-purple hue, Franziska Maria™ is sure to become one of your garden favorites. The beautifully formed double flowers are produced on both old and new growth, so there is a repeat flowering pattern. 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. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. This is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! Franziska Maria™ can be used for both trellising and pots, so it needs a supporting structure, and it is a good plant for growing against fences and walls, and is ideal for small gardens! * Reliable * Double blooms * Climber
