| Alpine Rock Thyme; Alpine Calamint | Acinos alpinus |
|
Also known as Alpine Calamint, this is a seldom seen but easy-to-grow alpine or rock garden perennial. This is closely related to Thyme, forming a low cushioned mound or tuft of tiny green leaves. Clusters of bright magenta-pink to purple flowers are held on the ends of the stems for most of the summer. Attractive to bees and butterflies. Drought tolerant, ideal for alpine troughs and gravel gardens. Evergreen in mild winter regions. | 4D-South |  |

| Anemone (Japanese) | Anemone x hybrida |
|
A staple item for the fall border, 'Party Dress' is an outstanding hybrid with attractive, glossy green foliage. Fluffy, pink, double flowers, up to double the size of most other Japanese Anenomes, are produced prolifically beginning in late summer. Watching them sway in the breeze brings a feeling of calm and peace to the garden. In Michigan, this variety continues to bloom into October, and can usually withstand a light frost. Try planting it with other fall bloomers such as mums, asters, snakeroot, and Sweet Autumn Clematis. Since this plant is a bit late to rise in the spring, it makes an ideal cover for the dying foliage of spring bulbs. |

No room for the tall, bushy, traditional Bee Balm in your garden? Now there’s a petite selection that’s easy to tuck into the front of your sunny border and combination containers. Reaching just a foot tall at maturity, 'Pardon My Pink' forms a bushy, well-branched clump of deep green, glossy foliage. From mid through late summer, cheerful true medium pink flowers sit just at the top of the foliage. Though the plant may be dwarf, the flowers are the same size as taller selections, measuring a full 2˝" - 3" across. They add a bright splash of color to the border in high summer. |

| Bluestem (Big) | Andropogon gerardii |
|
‘Indian Warrior’ forms a tall, strictly upright clump of green foliage that begins to take on dusky purple tones as early as midsummer. In late summer, glossy deep purple, three-branched inflorescences that vaguely resemble a turkey’s foot (hence the common name) are produced on reddish stems. When they first open, tiny bright red-orange pollen sacs dangle from the flowers and are quite visible even from a distance. As the cooler weather arrives, the foliage transitions from green to a deep smoky purple with red highlights, becoming enrobed in a shroud of purple by mid-fall. Dubbed the “monarch of the prairie”, this native grass was once the dominant component of the American tallgrass prairie. It adapts easily to a wide range of soil and moisture conditions as long as full sun is provided. This long-lived grass has a variety of uses including screening, naturalizing, restoring prairies, and nesting materials for birds and mammals. | 12C-South |  |

| Catmint | Nepeta faassenii |
|
Truly the “cat’s meow”, the best Nepeta we’ve seen yet! Unlike most Nepetas that have a bit of a wild, unkempt look, this first class selection keeps its tidy, dense, rounded shape all season long. Its small, grey-green, aromatic leaves are topped with well-branched stems carrying spikes of sky blue flowers with purple calyxes from early summer into early fall. ‘Cat’s Meow’ has everything today’s gardeners are looking for: a low maintenance, drought tolerant, deer resistant, long blooming perennial that looks great all season. |

| Cattail (Micro) | Typha minima |
|
Like a miniature version of our native Cat-tail, this is a great choice for planting beside a pond or stream. Plants form a clump of narrow, grassy leaves, bearing upright stems of fat, round brown cat-tail flowers during the summer. These remain attractive well into the winter. Excellent for cutting. Roots spread to form a patch when grown in the open ground. Clumps may be divided in early spring. Easily grown in a tub, set into a water feature so it remains constantly moist. | 3A-North |  |

| Chameleon Plant | Houttuynia cordata |
|
‘Chameleon’ (synonymous with ‘Variegata’ and ‘Tricolor’) features green leaves variegated with shades of red, pink, yellow and/or cream on bright red stems. Foliage is aromatic when bruised. Tiny, inconspicuous greenish-white flowers in 1-1.5” spikes are subtended by four showy white petal-like bracts. Flowers appear in mid to late spring. Plants spread invasively by rhizomes and may need to be restrained by soil barriers or planted in areas where fixed structures such as sidewalks or buildings will restrict spread. In water gardens, grow in containers as marginal aquatic plants. Plants tolerate up to 2” of standing water over the crowns. In natural ponds, plants are also often grown in containers sunk into the mud to maintain control and to avoid unwanted invasive spread. Grow as a ground cover in moist, boggy areas. Genus name honors Martin Houttuyn, 18th century Dutch botanist. |

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 |  |

You’ll surely swoon for this gorgeous deep fuchsia, fragrant, pom pom double coneflower! Its sizable blooms appear on short, sturdy stems above the exceptional dark green foliage from midsummer through early fall, potentially until frost.

As the plentiful flowers age, they lighten slightly taking on pretty mauve and lavender tones. Be sure to cut a few for your fresh bouquets. |

"This is the most spectacular of all cultivars in its magnificent frond architecture. It is really the Queen of Green", according to Dr. John Mickel former curator of ferns at the New York Botanical Garden and author of "Ferns for American Gardens". As with other forms of lady ferns there is so much variability with spore production that it is necessary to produce this form in tissue culture, so its clones are identical to the parent. This superb selection has fronds whose pinnae (leaflets) crisscross to form x's and has crested pinnae tips. | 12B-South |  |

| Foamy Bells | Heucherella hybrid |
|
This new perennial is a riot of color and is bound to jump right out of the landscape! Its most brilliant coloration comes in spring when the deeply divided leaves are bright gold with a prominent contrasting overlay of brick red pigment. Gold veining feathers through the red color complemented by a luminous gold outline around each leaf. This vibrant coloration is most pronounced when sited in more sunlight. In the summertime, the leaves mellow to green but retain their strong deep purple coloring in the center of each leaf. Late spring to early summer brings wands of light pink buds which open to pale pinkish white flowers. Secondary flowers and sterility make this selection particularly long blooming. | 4D-South |  |

| Gas Plant | Dictamnus albus |
|
A classic perennial that has received renewed attention as of late. Very strong, tall stems carrying white, open flaring, 6-petaled flowers with long, eyelash-like stamens appear from late spring into midsummer (earlier in warmer zones). Interesting star-shaped, brown seed pods develop in fall and are pretty in dried flower arrangements. This perennial forms a bushy clump of dark green, leathery, pinnate leaves that smell of lemons when crushed. Deer typically leave this plant alone due to its aromatic foliage, but butterflies enjoy its blossoms. Dictamnus is rumored to get its common name from a light volatile gas that is emitted from the plant, though we haven’t tested this theory ourselves. | 12C-North |  |

A classic perennial that has received renewed attention as of late. Very strong, tall stems carrying light pink, 6-petaled flowers with long, eyelash-like stamens and brighter pink veins unfurl from bright pink buds from late spring into midsummer (earlier in warmer zones). This perennial forms a bushy clump of dark green, leathery, pinnate leaves that smell of lemons when crushed. Deer typically leave this plant alone due to its aromatic foliage, but butterflies enjoy its blossoms.

| Ginger (Panda Face Wild) | Asarum maximum |
|
This unique evergreen groundcover for the shade forms a slowly spreading clump of glossy, oval to arrow shaped, green leaves with pewter colored, embossed tortoise shell-patterned veining. The common name “Panda Face Ginger” comes from the large, clearly patterned, black and white flowers that appear just below the foliage from mid to late spring. | 12C-North |  |
