| | | |  | Granny Smith apples originated in Australia in 1868 when Maria Ann (Granny) Smith found a seedling growing by a creek on her property. This was the same place where she would toss French crab apples grown in Tasmania. The seedling bore light green colored apples that Granny Smith propagated. She found the new apple to be great for both cooking and snacking. Washington apple growers began growing this apple commercially in the late 1960s. Today, Granny Smith is one of the most well-known apple varieties around, known for its bright green color and tart flavor. | TA |  |  |  |  |  |

| | | |  | America's favorite red apple, the Red Delicious Apple is one of the most popular apples available today. It is no wonder, since this is a hardy, vigorous tree that will produce many bushels of apple every fall that can be stored for up to 5 months, so you will have your own home-grown apples for half the year and even the biggest crop will not be wasted. The Red Delicious apple is a perfect choice to integrate into the landscape border, with its delicate white blooms in the spring, followed by crisp, large dark red, aromatic fruit in the autumn. Cross-pollinate with other apple varieties, such as the attractive ‘Cortland’ or ‘Yellow Delicious’ for best fruit production. | TH |  |  |  |  |  |

| Coneflower | Echinacea x | |  | Echinacea SunSeekers® Apple Green Coneflower is a free-flowering, long-blooming, showy perennial that blooms early summer to early fall. The large, semidouble flowers are a stunning shade of apple green with a dark green center cone that matures to lemon yellow. Borne on short, stocky stems, the flowers are held upright, making excellent cut flowers.

| Indian Pink | Spigelia marilandica | |  | Add a "slice" of this native wildflower to your garden! The tubular flowers appear for many weeks in late spring and early summer. The red and orange colors, coupled with the flower shape, are popular with Hummingbirds and can be used to attract the elusive bird (among other pollinators) to your garden. This woodland perennial grows from sun to shade and is long-lived once established. Spigelia will be more floriferous in full sun, but will also need more moisture to stay looking nice. Filtered sun is recommended in southern regions. Slices Spigelia are self-cleaning, meaning old flowers fall to the ground rather than drying to the stem. 'Apples Slices' has dark, wine red flowers. | 12C-N |  |  |  |  |  |

| Pineapple Lily | Eucomis x | |  | Want a tropical look that's hardy to zone 6? Look no further than ‘African Night’. The name alludes to the rich, burgundy leaves that emerge in early summer. By the time the flowers spikes appear in late summer, the foliage will lighten in intensity. Rosy pink flowers are produced on dark burgundy stems with matching burgundy leaflets at the top of the flower spike. Like other late season bloomers such as Hibiscus or Perovskia, this will be one of the last to emerge in spring. This native of South Africa is called a Pineapple Lily for good reason-the inflorescence at the top of the flower scape looks like a tropical fruit. | 4B-S |  |  |  |  |  |
