Daylily Audacity Bound

By Stamile – 1987

I love this large (8 inch), round, sunny bloom. This dormant, tetraploid is 30 inches tall and it’s golden yellow self has a bright green throat and is complete with a ruffled edge.

This plant has large fans so an order will be two fans rather than my normal three.

Daylily Atlanta Lamplighter

By Petree – 1985

This one was registered with a height of 28 inches and a bloom of 5 inches; but for me I think it is both taller and bigger. It is a mid-season blooming, dormant tetraploid that is light yellow, edged with gold and a green throat. This Daylily is great for a moon garden as it practically glows in the dark.

Baptisia Australis – Blue Indigo

This tough, long-lived native perennial makes a statement as an anchor plant or a hedge. Give it space as it grows to 3-4 feet and just as wide.  Wild blue indigo is the common name and it is best known as a dye plant.  It is impressive in bloom with its large spires of blue, pea like flowers.  The blue green foliage and black seed pods are also attractive. There are many hybrids available but this is the native species. Blue Baptisia will easily cross with other species. Give them full sun, and they are not picky about soil and are also drought tolerant due to a very deep root system.  Because of the deep roots they don’t transplant well.  You can cut back the foliage after bloom to make them less likely to sprawl. A member of the legume family they will not need added fertilizer because they fix nitrogen. Baptisia are loved by butterflies.

Sedum Rupestre – Angelina

Sedum Angelina is a drought tolerant, succulent ground cover which is actually from the genus Petrosedum. The chartreuse leaves stay under 6 inches and are evergreen, providing winter interest in areas without snow cover. These do not flower like other sedum and are very tough and hardy here in zone 4. They are not bothered by pests or disease and if you get too much they are easy to remove. Nice in pots too as they will cascade.

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.

Bleeding Heart – Dicentra spectabilis- Gold Heart

Bleeding heart has attractive mounded foliage with arching stems of delicate, heart-shaped flowers in spring. It thrives in moist woodland gardens along with ferns and other shade-lovers.  They are deer resistant and this is the old fashioned gold variety favored for cottage gardens that has pink hearts and white teardrops falling from them.  The plant is ephemeral which means that the foliage will die back after they flower and reappear the next spring. The gold variety does maintain its foliage longer than the standard green variety. You may notice seedlings; transplant them to a desired spot. $9.00

 

 

Balloon Flower – Dwarf White – Platycodon grandifloras

This cute little balloon flower is from a cross made in our own garden between Fairy Snow and standard tall white balloon flower.  It is not a stable cross and some seedlings revert to tall white or purple balloon flower. We only ship two or three year old plants for this one to insure that they are dwarfs. These plants are 1 to 2 feet tall and have the classic single balloon opening into a pure white star about 1.5 inches across. They are hardy to zone 3 but be careful not to dig them up by accident as they emerge very late in spring. They bloom in summer and require no special care. They tolerate some drought due to the tap root but will grow faster and flower more in a richer moister soil. Darling for the rock garden or front of the border and loved by pollinators.

Daylily Eruption

By Wild, 1981

Look closely at this one to see it’s real beauty. It is an oldie but a goodie. At first it appears to be a bright fire engine red, 6.5 inch bloom with a gold throat but in the right light and when you get closer you will see the magenta veins and halo. This 30 inch dormant, diploid blooms mid-season and into the late season.

A dormant, diploid it holds it’s flowers into the night where the stars simply glow.
