Astilbe - Color Flash
Astilbe - Color Flash Astilbe Color Flash (False Spirea), Astilbe x arendsii 'Color Flash', has a stunning new contrast of foliage colors! The deeply cut ferny leaves start off bright lime green, and then mature to a rich burgundy purple to a bronze color. All foliage colors are present on each plant since the leaves come out in different stages! ‘Color Flash’ displays striking pink plumes that grow upright to about 10 inches above the plant. This astilbe would make a great new addition to your part shade garden. For a brilliant and colorful effect plant them in masses; use also in borders or containers. It is best to apply a thick layer of mulch around the root zone over the growing season to conserve soil moisture; since it prefers moisture, water regularly for abundant flowers and nice foliage. The multi-colored foliage is deer and rabbit resistant; attracts butterflies. ‘Color Flash’ is a “must have” because of its long blooming period, great color, attractive foliage, and low, low maintenance! * Part shade * Ferny leaves * Striking plumes

| Clematis - Candida - Sale Price: $42.75 Clematis Candida, Clematis lanuginosa 'Candida', features pure white, 6 flowers with creamy white to yellow stamens that adorn this vigorous selection in early summer and again in late summer. Candida makes a great cut flower and produces flowers on graceful vines of old and new wood. One of the best whites! Clematis Candida needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs, over walls, cover stumps, and make perfect cover ups for unsightly service areas. Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. Clematis Candida is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! * Reliable * Great cut flower * Vigorous |
