| Agastache | Agastache cana |
|
One of the longest blooming perennials in the garden. Vivid rose purple flower spikes rise above the bronzy green foliage. Forms a compact, branched clump of aromatic, slug and deer resistant foliage. Well-adapted to dry soils. From midsummer into fall, plants are topped by a plethora of brightly colored flower spikes which add a bright spot of color to the landscape. This plant is well-adapted to thrive in dry soils and is right at home in rock gardens and xeric container plantings where it will attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and honeybees. | 6C-North |  |

| Black-Eyed Susan | Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii |
|
Destined to become the new standard, this new introduction is a terrific improvement over ‘Goldsturm’. While ‘Goldsturm’ can stand waist-high in bloom with tall, wispy flowering stems, ‘Little Goldstar’ is a much more compact, proportional plant. Standing just knee high, this plant forms a bushy, short clump of rich green foliage covered with a dome of closely spaced, starburst-shaped, 2-2.5”, golden yellow blossoms held just above the foliage. Very well-branched scapes carry loads of flowers from midsummer through early fall. Over 80 flowers have been counted on a single plant, making this selection more floriferous than 'Goldsturm'. | 12C-North |  |

| Clematis | Clematis integrifolia |
|
'Blue Ribbons' is an improved, low-growing seed strain with an abundance of 1.75" flowers that are up to 3 times bigger than typical forms. 'Blue Ribbons' remains upright to 16" and doesn't sprawl like others, though light staking or support of other perennials is still helpful where heavy summer rains or high winds prevail. The nodding, indigo-blue flowers, shaped like little parasols, flower from May through August and are followed by decorative silvery seed heads into early winter. 'Blue Ribbons' grows wider and more beautiful every year, and is a wonderful new selection of a long-lived species that deserves wider use. | 12B-South |  |

| Coneflower | Echinacea |
|
A breakthrough in Echinacea breeding! From mid through late summer, highly fragrant, 3 inch, spicy red-orange flowers bloom with a papaya orange halo in the pom-pom center. The glowing orange flowers have terrific visual impact from quite a distance, especially when planted in groups. Be sure to cut a few for a fresh bouquet that will last nearly two weeks. Though it is a hybrid of two species, ‘Hot Papaya’ strongly exhibits the traits of E. purpurea in foliage and habit. The plant forms a strong, sturdy clump with robust, deep green foliage and thick stems with maroon markings. It grows about three feet tall in the landscape, making it a good choice for the middle of the flower border. | 12C-North |  |

| Echinacea purpurea |
|
This is easily one of the nicest of the double pom-pom type Echinaceas introduced thus far. This plant’s picture perfect qualities include nicely proportional plants with large flowers held like an umbrella just atop the attractive deep green foliage. The compact, very well-branched, broadly mounding plants have very strong flower stems, an improvement over older pink doubles. | 12C-North |  |

'Colorburst Orange' has it all - lovely double orange flowers and a medium short, well-branched habit. The anemone type double flowers open with centers that are dark, then lime green then orange. First year plants are multistemmed. Excellent vigor. Flowers are very large and stems are extra strong. A very exciting new Echinacea. | 12C-North |  |

| Coral Bells | Heuchera villosa |
|
In spring, the new leaves of 'Circus' emerge a warm peach color with deep red veins. As they age and the weather turns warmer, the foliage turns a radiant shade of chartreuse with extensive red veining, a light dusting of silvering, and a chartreuse outline around each leaf. Deep reddish purple, leafy scapes carry hot pinkish red flowers beginning in early summer. It’s a dynamite combination of colors especially for a perennial that thrives in partial shade. Try combining it with green hostas and black snakeroot for an explosion of color! | 4D-South |  |

| Hosta | Hosta hybrid |
|
This unique tricolor hosta forms a medium to large sized, upright mound of leaves that have a lot of character: they are corrugated, puckered, folded, and ruffled at the base. Glaucous blue-green, rounded leaves have a showy wide, feathery, white center with green jetting between the center and margin. The white coloring extends all the way down the leaf petiole and up the flower scapes which carry pale lavender flowers in early to midsummer. | 12B-North |  |

This brightly colored hosta illuminates the shade garden with its chartreuse leaves that turn gold as the season progresses. The rugose textured, rounded leaves grow at a strong rate to form a medium sized mound. In early to midsummer, pale lavender flowers are produced above the foliage on chartreuse to gold scapes. | 11B-South | |

The golden throat just highlights the ebony hues of the bloom, which stand out like sentries in the early-summer garden!

| Onion (Ornamental) | Allium |

It forms a compact, upright clump of glossy green, thick and strappy leaves which emit a slight smell of onion when crushed. In late July and August here in Michigan, a profusion of large 2”, bright rosy purple, tightly rounded clusters of flowers appear on strong stems just above the attractive foliage. Butterflies and honeybees adore the flowers' sweet nectar but deer and rabbits steer clear of this perennial beauty. This plant has not been known to reseed in the landscape and is very easy to grow. | 10C-South |  |
