Stokes Aster - Purple Pixie
Stokes Aster Purple Pixie, Stokesia 'Purple Pixie' PPAF, is the first ever dwarf Stoke's aster! At less than 1' tall, this little cutie makes neat and tidy mounds that are perfect for the front of the border. In mid-summer, Stokesia 'Purple Pixie' explodes into color with dozens of large violet-blue flowers followed by sporadic rebloom in the fall. 'Purple Pixie' will do best in a full sun area with morning shade and well-drained soil. It should not stay wet while in dormancy.  Stoke’s Aster is not particular about soil types but they do need to be kept watered. Heavy, wet, always damp soils will cause the crowns to rot. Soils must be well-drained. Use this plant for summer color in beds, borders, or containers. It produces excellent cut flowers. To increase bloom time, deadhead after the first initial flowering. Plants can be cut back to basal foliage after they finish blooming. * Attracts Butterflies * Deer Resistant * Rabbit Resistant

Rose - Red Meidiland® - Shrub - DetailsRose - Red Meidiland® - Shrub - Sale Price: $71.35
Red Meidiland® Rose, Rosa 'MEIneble' (PP7,116), is covered by small, dense leaves of glossy dark green. It produces clusters of single red roses (to 3” diameter) with white centers and yellow stamens in a continuous bloom from May to frost. The flowers have no fragrance. The blooms are borne in sprays of seven to fifteen. The end of the season brings a special attraction as orange-red fruit persists along bronze winter stems. This rose has its own root.

If winter's freezing breezes kill the top growth, the rose will grow back in the spring, and the recovered rose will look the same as the one you purchased. Red Meidiland is a low-growing shrub rose with a creeping habit that is often grown as a ground cover. It typically grows with arching or cascading stems to 1.5 to 2 feet tall and spreads to 4 to 5 feet wide. Meidiland roses are landscape and ground cover roses that come from Meidiland of France.
