| Blue Fescue (Idaho) | Festuca idahoensis |
|
The slate blue, narrow leaves of this cultivar are longer and more arching than the species, giving it a graceful look in the garden. Its neat, clumping mound is especially striking when planted en masse. Drought tolerant once established. Prefers average to poor soil. Full sun enhances the spruce blue color, but it will tolerate dappled sunlight. Idaho fescue is native to the short-grass prairie habitat. It can be used in a xeriscape design along with Buffalo grass and Blue grama. Adding junipers, Rabbit brush and Sage, enhances such a design without compromising low maintenance. Many types of fescues need frequent dividing, however Idaho fescue is an exception and can survive years with no maintenance. |

Continuing the trend of bringing flower performance back to Coral Bells, ‘Appletini’ is the perfect combination of lime foliage and red flowers. Medium sized, lime green leaves have a silver overlay that makes the foliage truly attractive.

If you’re looking for a silver Heuchera to brighten up your shade area, you’ve found it. Unlike other silver Heucheras on the market, ‘Silver Gumdrop’ has vibrant pink flowers instead of the typical white or cream. Match it with its silver, iridescent leaves with a semi-glossy finish and you have a winning combination. ‘Silver Gumdrop’ is a smaller scale Heuchera, the perfect size for a container. Growers and gardeners alike will be pleased that it is a vigorous grower for its size. Its silver leaves take on a rosy blush overtone later in the season for additional interest. This plant is a Heuchera villosa hybrid. The villosa species is a large, late blooming type that exhibits an increased tolerance of high heat and humidity over other species. Most produce cream flowers in midsummer, though they are grown more for their fantastic foliage. H. villosa is native to the southeastern United States. |

Obsidian is the result of volcanic lava coming in contact with water. This process results in a glassy finish. Heuchera 'Obsidian' PP14836 exhibits this same glassy sheen and is closer to black than any other heuchera. The surface and edges of the rounded leaves are so smooth they look like they have been polished. Their undersides are deep purple and exhibit the same glassy finish. Though this selection is grown mainly for its unusual foliage, its ornamental value is enhanced by the 24 inch tall scapes which bear smoky purple buds that open to cream flowers. This selection forms a very compact, tight mound of foliage, making it ideal as an edging or in containers. It's fabulous when paired with brightly colored flowers and foliage in the garden. This new variety is destined to become a favorite! |

You’ll be impressed by this big and beautiful plant for both its flowering performance and its garden performance. Starting in spring, 4.5in wide leaves are chartreuse and mellow to lime green in summer. Huge, 5” wide clusters of medium pink flowers are produced continuously starting in midsummer and going until early fall. Flowers dry on the stems to a lovely raspberry color, extending the attractiveness of the plant. This plant preforms best in filtered sun, as too much sun will bleach the brightly colored leaves. | 4D-South |  |

An enchanting looking heuchera, this selection displays leaves with such crisp color patterning that they look like little stained glass windows. They range in color from season to season in response to changing light levels. In spring, they are deep grape purple with a heavy steel-grey overlay and crisp veination. Their undersides are royal purple, revealed by the curling of the leaves. During the winter, the foliage turns to a rich violet hue. Though the extraordinary foliage is reason enough to grow this plant, it has the added bonus of producing rose-pink buds which open to greenish-cream flowers on 24 inch scapes in late spring. |

From renowned daylily breeder Darrel Apps comes what he considers his best overall quality rebloomer to date. An everblooming daylily, ‘Passionate Returns’ blooms for about 3˝ months beginning in early July in zone 5. Four inch, rosy red, ruffled flowers have perfect form. Flowers are held just at the top of the foliage, with multiple branched scapes and lots of buds to make it extremely floriferous in the landscape. Its short stature and continuous flower show makes this the perfect daylily for growing at the front of the border and in containers. | 10C-South |  |

Selected for its petite size and unique flowers, this cultivated looking native perennial fits easily into today’s suburban landscapes. Newly emerging spring foliage has a beautiful bronze cast which contrasts nicely with other spring green perennials planted nearby.

Ten inch long spikes of pastel yellow buds open to creamy vanilla colored flowers from late spring into early summer. Seed pods begin to develop immediately after the plant is finished flowering, deepening in color and persisting into fall. This easy care, drought tolerant, deer resistant perennial is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for low maintenance or native perennials. | 12C-North |  |

Standing about 16” in bloom, a dense block of fuzzy, pyramidal shaped, rose pink plumes is presented just above the coarsely textured, dark green foliage in midsummer. Like all Chinese Astilbes, this one exhibits a bit greater tolerance to drier soils and can take full sun. | 11B-South |  |

| Foamy Bells | Heucherella hybrid |
|
If you’re looking for a bright-colored foliage plant, you’ve found it! Vibrant lime green leaves are rounded, giving it a refined presence in the garden. In the centers of each leaves are very defined flame-shaped markings that flare from the center like cherry red fire. In summer, these markings will deepen to mahogany. Cream flowers appear in early summer. This is a very polished, vigorous plant. For best foliage color and performance, plant in an area with filtered sun or afternoon shade. ‘Catching Fire’ is a H. villosa hybrid which means that it is naturally more heat and humidity tolerant and also has greater vigor than Heucherellas without such parentage. It forms a very dense mound of interesting foliage that is evergreen in most climates. |

This plant will increase in size, bud count, and bloom width with each passing year, so prepare to stake it as it grows ever taller and more magnificent! Always a standout among the Asiatic lilies! |

| Loosestrife (Gooseneck) | Lysimachia atropurpurea |
|
This is a biennial or short-lived perennial just recently introduced to gardens. Flowers are similar to the white Gooseneck Loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides) but in a rich burgundy-purple shade with contrasting grey-green leaves. Blooms appear in midsummer. Appreciates even moisture but adapts well to average border conditions. Plants do not spread at the root or become invasive, though they may self seed a little. Should not be confused with the noxious weed Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). Wonderful for cutting. Attractive to butterflies. Use gloves when gathering and saving seed, as these have sharp barbs or prickles. | 11C-North |  |
