 Alchemilla alpina (Lady's Mantle) | |
| I love the standard species for bouquets and large gardens but this little guy is perfect for smaller gardens especially for rockeries. The tiny chartreuse flowers float above ground-hugging uniquely shaped glossy leaves. I'm trying this one with another mat former, the new Ajuga reptans 'Dixie Chip' for a border.

Allium senescens 'Glaucum' (Ornamental Onion) | |
| The common name comes from the odor of onions when the leaves are bruised. This dainty guy will always have a place in my gardens. The little transparent "purse" that holds the blooms before they open is just oh so sweet. Mauve pink balls of flowers float above the grass-like foliage. A bulb that is easy to divide and clumps quickly. Likes sandy, well drained soils. Clumps nicely Zone: 4 |

Asparagus officinalis 'Jersey Giant' (Asparagus) | |
| Yes we can grow asparagus in Alaska and yes, they are hardy. And of course, they are tasty and good for you. If you get to the greenhouse before we pot them up, we have a great price we can pass along. Consistent yield 2-3 times more spears then 'Martha Washington'. Adapted to temperate and cool climates. Asparagus plants are monoecious�each individual plant is either male or female. Some varieties of asparagus, such as �Jersey Knight� and �Jersey Giant� produce all male or primarily male plants, so they�re more productive�male plants yield more harvestable shoots because they don�t have to invest energy in producing seeds. Choose an all-male variety if high yield is your primary goal. If you like to experiment, you may also want to grow an heirloom variety or a purple-stalked variety like �Purple Passion�. With an all-male variety, twenty-five plants are usually adequate for a household of four; plant double that amount for standard varieties Select and prepare your asparagus bed with care; this crop will occupy the same spot for 20 years or more. It can tolerate some shade, but full sun produces more vigorous plants and helps minimize disease. Asparagus does best in lighter soils that warm up quickly in spring and drain well; standing water will quickly rot the roots. Prepare a planting bed about 4 feet wide by removing all perennial weeds and roots and digging in plenty of aged manure or compost. Photo credit: Walter's Gardens Zone: 3 |

Astilbe 'Radius' (False Spirea) | |
| A large, impressive looking selection with great appeal! This outstanding new hybrid forms a large, robust clump similar to chinensis types but with more refined (not coarse) green foliage. The new foliage has a pretty reddish copper cast in the springtime. Leafy, burgundy red scapes carry triangular plumes of burgundy red buds which open to bright red flowers in early to midsummer.

Astilbe chinesis 'Milk and Honey' (False Spirea) | |
| A member of Astilbe chinensis(Chinese Astilbe). A later blooming species useful for extending the bloom season into late summer. Foliage is deeply incised, coarsely textured, and often bronze-green in color. Flowers are borne on narrow, branched panicles. Though garden performance is far superior in moist soils, members of this species are moderately drought tolerant. Creamy white plumes turn light pink as they age.

They are very easy to grow with lots of sun and don't forget they are an organic slug deterrent plus?they dry well and are great for fresh bouquets. Combine with Filipendula 'Nana' or Euphorbia polychroma.

Cerastium tomentosum 'Yo Yo' (Snow in Summer) | |

The small woolly gray/silver leaves form a low carpet smothering out most weeds. This new variety is a bit more restrained and compact than the species.

Echinops bannaticus 'Blue Glow' (Globe Thistle) | |
| A member of the Aster family, Echinops is a clumping perennial that is very easy to grow but not invasive. Beginning in early summer, intense blue spheres measuring 1.5" across appear on tall, unbranched stems. Bumblebees and nocturnal moths delight in their sweet nectar. This variety is very similar to E.ritro with leaves that are more deeply divided and hairy. Salt tolerant These distinctive flowers rise above the showy silvery green foliage. Though they look prickly, they are not as rough to the touch as you might expect. Echinops makes a great cut flower or dried everlasting. They add a unique element to any arrangement and are becoming more popular with florists every year. Photo credit: Walter's Gardens Zone: 3-8 |

Eryngium planum 'Blue Glitter' (Sea Holly) | |
| In our gardens, we have Eryngium planted in a very out-of-the way place yet it gets seen and raved about time and again. It looks as if it would be difficult to grow but it definitely is not. It's terrific for drying, too. 'Blue Glitter' has a shorter crop time than others, a much higher yield of smaller flowers and brighter, shimmering blue color in an unusual height. We also are offering the regular Eryngium 'Sapphire Blue' with a height of 24-30 inches. Combine with Veronica 'Waterperry Blue', Primula florindae, Doronicum, Penstemon 'Prairie Dusk'.
