Displaying large, soft pink plumes of florets on gracefully arching stems, this astilbe is a gorgeous ornamental perennial for any shady site in the landscape. It effectively adds color and light to wooded sites, shadowed borders and summertime containers. As an added bonus, the green, fernlike foliage provides a wonderful contrast to the soft pink flower heads. Easy to grow and maintain, too.

Campanula trachelium ‘Flore Pleno Mix’, the nettle-like double bellflower, is one of those perennials that is simply a joy in the garden. As a sturdy plant, it is ideally adapted to all kinds of climatic conditions. It tolerates dry periods in summer and light soils, loves the sun and feels at home in partial shade, competes against weeds and is stable upright.

As a seedling in the landscaping garden, it closes open spaces and improves every garden design. In fact, every garden becomes fabulous with the Flore Pleno shape, whose bell-shaped flowers look like porcelain in detail, caused by the second ring of petals. As beautiful as the nuances of the double, violet, light blue and white flowers may be, a really breathtaking sight emerges from July to September, especially with mass planting.

When it comes to ornamental grasses, Blue Fescue has long been a popular choice due to its diminutive size and interesting texture. Compared to classic variety ‘Elijah Blue’, ‘Blue Whiskers’ is a taller, more vigorous variety, with longer leaves and a brighter blue foliage color. The finely textured, bright silvery blue leaves form a fully rounded, robust clump with consistent flower coverage across the habit. Yellow-green flowers appear above the clump on 18-22” scapes in early summer and age to tan as the season progresses.

Double pompom flowers open magenta pink before maturing to a medium pink. Flowers are produced over a large rosette of foliage with almost no exposed stem.

Each ruby colored leaf is ruffled and fluted to an extreme degree, color matures to a rich merlot frosted with a silvery veil in late summer.

When its vibrant grape purple new foliage emerges with black veins in spring, you’ll easily be able to pick ‘Grape Expectations’ out from the crowd. The broad, thick and durable, somewhat fuzzy leaves form a dense, upright mound as opposed to the wide spreading form of ‘Blackberry Ice’. As the temperatures rise, the leaves develop a bright silver coating and then turn back to very deep purple in late fall. Creamy white flowers are produced on dark purple stems in midsummer.

Have you struggled with chartreuse-leaf Heuchera burning in the past? If so, you'll love this new yellow Heuchera. Its best color is in part or filtered shade, where we've been pleased to observe almost no burning, a problem that plagues other varieties. Slightly ruffled, chartreuse leaves are produced on an especially vigorous habit, thanks to its Heuchera villosa heritage. The color will be more lime green in deeper shade. Over time, 'Lemon Love' will gradually spread to about 3' wide if given the space. Cream flowers with hints of blush in the calyxes are produced above the foliage in early summer. A great color for brightening up your shade!

One of the best daylilies in its color class! Putting on a terrific show in the garden, this daylily produces loads of large 6", shimmering diamond dusted, lavender mauve flowers with a prominent citron yellow throat and matching purple stamens. Ruffled, recurved tepals open wide and flat revealing the triangular flower form.

This daylily is highly fragrant; its delightful perfume is noticeable from several feet away. We like how compact and well-proportioned this daylily is, with its large flowers appearing just at the top of the foliage instead of on tall, willowy scapes like some large flowered daylilies. The well-branched and budded scapes appear first in midseason and then again later in the season when it reblooms.

Another beautiful daylily from renowned daylily breeder Karol Emmerich! 6" triangular shaped flowers are peach with a wine purple eye. Like watercolor paint, the purple color blends to lavender purple toward the yellow throat for a stunning display. A thin, purple picotee edge frames the edge of the blooms.

‘Marque Moon’ sets the new standard for white daylilies as its form is greatly improved. Extravagant ruffling unlike any other lends a fancy, elegant look to the blossoms. The large 5-5½", fragrant, cream colored blossoms have a yellow throat that radiates softly out onto the petals. This yellow coloring is repeated on the picotee edge around each rounded petal. On cloudy days, you can detect a hint of peach color in the flower, and on sunny days you can see the diamond dust sparkling on the petals.

This is a heavily budded daylily that can produce an incredible 40 buds per scape. It forms a compact clump of narrow, arching foliage topped with large flowers in midsummer.

'Blood, Sweat and Tears' is aptly named to reference the years of hard work by renowned breeder Karol Emmerich to find a truly exceptional red daylily. Massive 6" raspberry red flowers are complemented by a wide rosy pink eye that leads to a yellow throat. A thin white margin edges each petal. Flowers are held on proportionate scapes, just above the foliage. There are no hardiness concerns with this red daylily as it was bred and selected in Minnesota.

If you're looking for a daylily that brings height to the garden, this is a top choice! In addition to tall scapes, 'King of the Ages' boasts incredible size with 6½" flowers.

An easily recognizable daylily that's a must-have for your garden! Deep purplish red, spoon-shaped flowers are massive – nearly 8" across. The large green throat is a nice contrast to the dark petals. Compared to the popular 'Ruby Spider', flowers are more purple in color. 'Persian Ruby' demands attention when it explodes with flowers in midsummer thanks to its high bud count.

A uniquely shaped daylily that is easily recognizable in a crowd. Triangular, pale yellow petals have a large wine purple eye and a razor thin wine purple edge. An improved 'El Desperado', this variety has an improved flower form, a higher bud count, good branching, rebloom, and a slightly earlier bloom season compared to its predecessor.

This new and exciting variety stands out from the rest of the daylilies with its uniquely shaped petals. Huge, 6.5in triangular-shaped flowers are light golden yellow with a pronounced raspberry red eye. Its bottom sepals are smooth, often twisting or curling into a “swirling” motion. This is the perfect companion to ‘Primal Scream’, matching its spider-like look. Daylilies are a perfect landscape plant and possibly the most care-free and easiest perennials to grow.

A truly unique shade of purple that is redder than the typical purple Baptisia! Dense spikes of dark wine purple, pea-like flowers accented by contrasting golden yellow petals are produced over mounds of very blue-green foliage. Blooms late spring to early summer and can be used in place of a shrub in the landscape. Attractive round seed heads add beauty and interest to the fall and winter garden as well as food for birds. Easy to grow and will be extremely long lived with little maintenance.

Did you love the deep flowers of 'Dutch Chocolate'? Meet the new and improved version, 'Dark Chocolate'. This variety shares that same, nearly black, charcoal purple flowers, but has much longer flower spikes-up to 27" long. The flowers grow well out of the foliage, an improvement on its predecessor. Forms an incredibly full and bushy habit-a perfect substitution for shrubs if you're looking for structure in the garden.

An arching variegated Feather Reed Grass varying from the typical upright habits of market cultivars. Leaves have wide creamy white margins edging green centers.

Introduced by Emerald Coast Growers.

Every new frond is a treasure on Jurassic Gold. While they mature into the lush, lively green that made ferns popular, the new growth starts out in an exquisite orangey tone that's totally unique. Plant it in with a mix of ferns, and the random streaks of fiery color will keep the whole mix interesting. With that mix, you could coat a shady woodland garden in verdant beauty. On the other hand, you could add Jurassic Gold to a shade border as an easy, low–maintenance feature. Ferns are popular for container gardening—try this one either as a colorful, graceful filler in a mixed container or centerstage in a container of its own.

Jurassic Gold has already gotten itself a fair bit of critical acclaim. It won Best New Plant at Hort Week Awards in 2019, and second place at the Farwest Trade Show in 2020.

Like a giant 'Blue Mouse Ears', 'Silver Bullet' creates a densely packed clump of very thick, rounded blue leaves. The thick foliage provides great slug resistance.
