Colorado Water Lily - DetailsColorado Water Lily - Sale Price: $29.95
This prolific, award-winning water lily is a customer favorite because of its very long blooming season. The unique salmon-colored flowers stand 3 inches to 4 inches above the water’s surface and bloom late into the season with a pleasant fragrance.   The flowers rise high above the dark green foliage, which makes them particularly striking from a distance! A truly astonishing water lily, “Colorado’ was hybridized by Dr. Kirk Strawn in 1994, and it is very free flowering.  The flowers are 5-6 inches wide, the leaves are 5-7 inches wide, and the overall plant spread is 3-5 feet wide. This water lily grows best in full to partial sun.  We recommend growing ‘Colorado’ in a 7.5 quart or larger container (available from naturehills.com). Also available from naturehills.com is Aquatic Planting Media and Lilytabs Water Lily Fertilizer. This may be the hardiest water lily you will ever grow!  With 5 hours of direct sun, it will consistently out-perform other hardy lilies. The flowers are magnificent, large, and relatively long-lasting. Cannot be shipped to: CA, MT, OR, WA or WY.

Hosta - Halcyon - DetailsHosta - Halcyon - Sale Price: $56.95
Gardeners are always looking for two things: 1) shade plants and 2) blue plants. The Halcyon Hosta is made for the shade and is the most interesting frosty ocean-blue color, earning it the 1997 Award of Merit (AGM). It’s a vigorous (but slower) grower with ribbed, spear-shaped foliage that sits underneath white-to-lavender bell-shaped flowers from July to August — but the real show is the foliage itself. Slug-resistant, attracts hummingbirds during blooming. Halycon Hosta grows in the familiar “fountain” mound shape to about 2’ tall and wide, and prefers full shade in a moist but well-drained spot. Also known as funkia or plantain lily, Hosta Halcyon is a reliable winner that requires little attention. Spectacular when planted in shade borders, around large shade trees and even in large containers. One of the best hostas available. Zones 4-8.

Clematis - Terniflora - DetailsClematis - Terniflora - Sale Price: $42.75
Clematis Terniflora, Clematis 'Terniflora', produces masses of small 1 creamy white flowers that completely cover this plant. Its sweet scent is an added bonus and is sure to get the attention of anyone who walks by! ‘Terniflora’ is very impressive with its deep green leathery leaves and profuse blooming.  Flowers give way to attractive, plume-like seed heads. Clematis 'Terniflora' needs a supporting structure to grow properly and it is easy to grow with a rich, porous, alkaline soil that has plenty of room for the roots to spread.  It can be kept smaller with pruning. Because of its extremely rampant growth habit this clematis may need hard pruning in fall or early spring. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, but will thrive and bloom in shade. Apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine.  Very reliable performers once established; they take a season or two. Plant this vigorous, deciduous, twining vine over a backyard fence or trellis for privacy.  Enjoy the blooms and fragrance of the flowers until fall! * Rampant grower * Fragrant * Reliable
