Love you is a very pale pink, near white in color, with lightly ruffled edges and a cream colored mid rib. What makes it a standout is the intense green throat that spreads into a chartreuse halo. The plant is a dormant tetraploid. It blooms mid-season and is very fragrant. On a side note; there are many daylilies with Love You in the name that are different than this plant. Love You is a good one for the moon garden.

Cameroons Twister is a large (40 inches tall), showy dormant tetraploid. The 7.5 inch fragrant flowers start blooming in the mid to late-season and then rebloom almost until frost, and there are plenty of them….40 buds on 5 branches. The big fuchsia, crispate, unusual form flowers open wide in the base and show off a large baby pink eye zone over a green throat, while the ends of the petals are often pinched and twisted. Cameroon is a country in Africa so I am curious how this show stopper got its name.

This Siberian iris has violet/pink flowers that are larger than the species.
They start blooming in June here in Wisconsin and are held above the attractive grass like foliage, at just under 3 feet. Mature clumps can be 3 feet across and are loved by butterflies and not attractive to deer and rabbits.
They will tolerate both overly wet and overly dry soil, but love moist fertile soil and plenty of sun. Siberian Iris have no serious pests.

Unregistered seedling by Matel – 2013
This is the result of one of my first attempts at hybridizing. The seedling used as the pod parents was from a gift of my second group of seedlings from a friend LG.
The 5 inch flower is rose to lavender with a darker halo and some mottling and streaking that differs from flower to flower. The petals have a very heavy yellow pie crust ruffled edge while the sepals do not. The edge is the same color as the golden throat.
The plant is a 24 inch tall dormant tetraploid.

When the rest of the garden is winding down, Autumn Joy is just getting started in fall with bright coral/pink flowers that later turn a beautiful rust color for winter interest. This hardy perennial is drought tolerant and not fussy about soil conditions as long as it is not too wet. The plants are just short of 2 feet tall and will form 2 foot wide clumps. The little mounds of foliage are also interesting in spring. All the care that is needed is to remove the old stalks near the ground in early spring before new growth starts. Bees also love this plant and it provides food for them when there isn’t much else. Sedum needs full sun.
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.
