Iris Eleanor Roosevelt
This intermediate bearded iris is dark violet blue with white beards, we call it electric blue.
She is a Historic Iris that is about 20” tall and, wow; she is very reliable, vigorous, prolific and hardy. The stems don’t tip like some of the taller ones do. She is one of the first to bloom, in May, and then does some re-blooming during the rest of the iris season.
Awards: Honorable Mention 1936, Award of Merit 1937.

By Dean – 1993
This standard dwarf bearded (SDB) iris is very difficult to describe…you really need to look at the picture or better yet see it in person. It is lavender, cream and tan or straw colored all kind of blended together with very dark purple shooting up from the base. The sky blue beards top it off with a stunning yet calming result. At 12 plus inches, she is tall for a SDB. With a wide flat form, the standards form a ball, while the falls don’t fall, they are held straight out to the side.

Everyone’s favorite shade tree, the Sugar Maple was selected in 1893 as Wisconsin’s state tree and in 1949 legislators made it our official state symbol. The well-known 5 lobed leaf is also the national symbol for Canada.
Weather grown in a grove or as a landscape standout Acer saccharum is easily recognized by its beautiful form and fabulous fall color. Medium green leaves turn from yellow to burnt orange or flaming red for the seasonal show.
These trees do not perform well in the south or where the weather is hot and humid. They also resent having their root zones disturbed frequently or the soil compacted. This tree will require moisture until it is well established but then will tolerate some shade and do fine on nearly any soil, doing best in a fertile well drained soil.
It can grow to 75 feet with a rounded form and a 50 foot spread. These trees are fully hardy to zone 3.
If you have a group of these trees you could try to cook down the sap to make delicious maple syrup.
This price is for 10 3 year old seedlings. I can send you 2 year trees or older trees however those would require more shipping charges. Please call or email if you would like to order different sizes or larger quantities (or smaller quantities).

This ornamental strawberry is great in a rock garden; with healthy dark green foliage and large bright hot pink flowers. It flowers from April until frost and bears edible fruit.
The plant spreads, like most strawberries, on runners, and forms a ground cover that is great with almost any perennial. The plants can be redirected to grow where you want them to. It’s best to get new plants rooted before cutting the runner to the mother plant.
Lipstick Strawberry was created in 1966 by crossing Fragaria x ananassa with marsh cinquefoil (potentilla plaustris).
The plant prefers full sun to part shade and will grow in any soil that is not too wet. Be sure not to cover the crown with soil when planting. This plant is great in window boxes and containers too.
You get 10 plants for this price.

Dragon’s Blood Sedum is a rapidly growing, zero maintenance ground cover. It forms a dense mat about 5” tall, of fleshy foliage that is green purple in summer and develop a brighter red purple color in cooler weather. The color is also brighter in full sun though the plant will grow in light shade. Foliage holds its beauty far into fall and early winter here in Wisconsin.
The flowers are a brilliant hot pink in summer. The only thing I do to this plant is to remove the dried flower stems when they are done, but this is not necessary for the health of the plant.
These plants will stand up to whatever nature can dish out from heat and drought to extreme cold and humidity. They don’t bat an eye about poor soil, but will be bigger and even more fleshy if better fertility is provided. They also do fine in containers and will spill over the edge. This is one of the only perennials that will survive the winter in a container here in Wisconsin.
These will arrive bare root. You will get a nice bunch of them. As with most sedums they are very easy to propagate. At least some of the ones that you receive will have roots, plant those but also plant any small or long pieces and they will grow. You need to water then until they are established but after that no supplemental care is needed unless you live in the desert.
The plant is in the middle left of this picture.
