A long bloom period of deep blue flowers, this catmint offers a much heftier in flower size and foliage than other catmint. The grey green foliage produces the heady scent of catmint. Combine with lilium 'Blackbird' and achillea 'Terra Cotta' for a startling exhibit.

Sedum 'Autumn Fire' (Stonecrop)

A short metal fence installed as the plant buds out in the spring will contain this beauty and keep it tidy. I've seen 'Autumn Joy' (cousin) almost completely covered with drunk bees.

Sedum 'Firecracker' SUNSPARKLER� Series ()

Thumbnail Photo

Magnify

For a rich blanket of color in those hot, sunny areas, try Sedum �Firecracker� from breeder Chris Hansen who also brought us �Dazzleberry� and �Lime Zinger�. This is Chris� improvement over his previous red-foliage introduction, �Cherry Tart�. You will be amazed by the foliage bud count on each dormant plug; it is a very dense growing, well-branched selection that won�t split open in summer. It puts on a strong show of burgundy red color all season long, with only the tiniest new leaves emerging mint green. Plant �Firecracker� en masse in the landscape as a colorful, weed-suppressing ground cover and enjoy its vibrant pink flowers in late summer to early fall as an added bonus.

Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Cobweb' (Hen & Chicks)

Either you love it or you hate it. No middle road on this hen and chicks. This one really does resemble a cobweb crisscrossing between the tips of the leaves. Blue-green leaves grow to be about 1-inch wide.

Thymus serpyllum 'Pink Chintz' (Creeping Thyme)

Thumbnail Photo

Magnify

Creeping Thyme is a sun-loving herb valued as an ornamental groundcover. This selection forms a very low carpet of fuzzy, dark green leaves which resemble those of Woolly Thyme. From early thru midsummer, flowers of a unique shade of salmon-pink cover the foliage. Lovely between stones on a path or cascading over walls. A vigorous grower.

Trollius x cultorum 'Cheddar' (Globeflower)

Thumbnail Photo

Magnify

Supposedly more vigorous than 'Alabaster', this cool and stylish plant is great for that moist spot. Pale yellow petals form a double row with darker yellow obvious stamens. And again, while they like moisture, I really have experienced this guy to be a workhorse. I grow it in shade where it will bloom not as abundant as in full sun, but it does bloom. And I've grown it in dry gardens, and full sun with good results. I do cut it back when it is done blooming and as yet, have not had a second flush of bloom as I do with the Trollius europaeus varieties.

Combine with fancy daffodil, or one of the shorter hardy blue grasses.

Viola 'Etain' (Violet)

Thumbnail Photo

Magnify

Good in containers. Throats of flowers are purple-yellow and pretty spectacular. May not come back each year, but it's still worth it, as so many of our customers say each year. We typically sell out so early in the season. Combine with Thymus 'Highland Cream', Trollius pumilus, Bergenia 'Solar Flare'.

A rare and elegant viola! This beautiful English hybrid has extra large 1.75 inch wide, pale lemon yellow blossoms with contrasting lavender-purple margins and a delightful fragrance. Though it blooms the heaviest from late spring to early summer, it will continue to send up flowers sporadically throughout the summer and into fall. 'Etain' is a clump-forming type, unlike many other violets which are groundcovers.
