| Lungwort, Bethlehem Sage | Pulmonaria hybrid | |  | This lungwort was selected for its huge flowers, 10-12" long leaves, and consistent leaf markings. Lisa Marie is a lovely plant with uniform, vigorous growth, and huge florets on long, sturdy flower stalks. The plant is loaded with flowers in late spring and then the foliage is a show stopper for the rest of the season. Plant this beauty in part to full shade for a stunning, spotted ground cover that will provide seasonal interest from spring to late fall. This new pulmonaria was discovered by Brad and Lisa Grover in their home garden in northern Illinois. | 12C-N |  |  |  |  |  |

| | | |  | Lungwort are one of the classic shade perennials, and what better way to celebrate spring than with an explosion of pink flowers? Large, bright rose pink flowers stay consistently pink and are produced in large flower clusters over a low and wide habit. Dark green leaves are lightly to moderately speckled with silver, so you can enjoy the interesting foliage after it has finished blooming. This plant will thrive in part shade to full shade as long as you provide moisture. | 12C-N |  |  |  |  |  |

| | | |  | A rare and beautiful sport of the very popular 'Raspberry Splash'. As easy to grow as the original, 'Raspberry Frost' is enhanced by a cream-silver margin and a heavily veiled leaf surface for added interest. The bright coral-red flowers are showy in early spring and when finished are covered by newly emerging foliage for a very clean look. A fresh look for this popular plant. | 12C-N |  |  |  |  |  |

| | | |  | Dazzling raspberry-pink flower clusters dance among the dark green, silver-spotted leaves in late spring. This variety is characterized by its fairly upright growing habit and profuse flowering abilities, and resistance to powdery mildew. It is one of the very best cultivars available. | 12C-N |  |  |  |  |  |

| Russian Sage | Perovskia atriplicifolia | |  | Need a shorter, manageable Russian Sage that is still vigorous in the landscape and production? Try ‘Blue Jean Baby’! Lavender blue flowers held in smoky purple calyxes bloom for a long period starting in midsummer, with the color from the calyxes extending appeal into fall. This variety is one of the earliest Perovskia to bloom. This bushy selection joins the lineup of Perovskia from the Walters Gardens, Inc. hybridizing and, like the others this program has introduced, resists lodging. ‘Blue Jean Baby’ is a vigorous selection which replaces Peek-A-Blue® | 11C-S |  |  |  |  |  |

| | | |  | ‘Little Spire’ was selected for its relatively short, upright habit which prevents the leaning that is typical of the species. Small, narrow, grey-green leaves compliment the lavender-blue flowers. This cultivar has a wonderfully long blooming period. | 11C-S |  |  |  |  |  |

| Sage (Common) | Salvia officinalis | |  | Cooks and gardeners alike are indebted to this evergreen perennial for the unique, pungent flavor and aroma that its gray-green leaves produce. S. ‘Berggarten’ is more compact than the species, forming a 2’ tall by 3’ wide bush with woody stems that may be trimmed back to newly emerging growth or strong stems in spring. In early to mid-summer, it sends up purple flower spikes. It boasts attractively rounded leaves and, like the species, has both ornamental and culinary qualities in an herb garden. It tolerates alkaline soils, but not wet winter conditions. | 8D-N |  |  |  |  |  |

| White Sagebrush | Artemisia x ludoviciana | |  | A hybrid of native North American species including Artemisia ludoviciana. 'Silver Lining' finds the best in its parentage as a spectacular, durable foliage perennial. Broadly dissected silver leaves are showy from spring to fall. The mounded, low wide habit maintains perfect form all season and resists opening up. Use this perennial as a filler in the landscape and spiller in mixed containers. Buff yellow flowers are held on tall scapes. Flowering is not significant and this plant should be considered primarily for its foliage. Compared to the annualized types of Artemisia, 'Silver Lining' is truly perennial and will have exceptional performance year after year. Unlike A. ludoviciana, 'Silver Lining' will not take over your landscape as it does not spread by underground runners. | 11C-N | |  |  |  |  |
