Colorado Water Lily
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.

Trumpet Creeper - DetailsTrumpet Creeper - Sale Price: $49.95
The Trumpet Creeper, Campsis radicans 'flamenco', is a rapid growing, clinging vine that produces bright red orange trumpet shaped flowers that can get 3 inches long. Blooming in the summer months, it attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Also known as the Trumpet Vine, it is a tough vine for hot and dry sites. The invasive nature of this plant makes it hard to get rid of, but it is very hardy. It will become less invasive as long as seed pods are removed before they ripen and the plant cut back each spring before new growth develops. The abundant sprays of trumpet-shaped red orange flowers cover this deciduous vine for an extra long bloom season. Trumpet Creepers are often grown with multiple trunks. This vine is a woody climber that grows up to 30 feet tall with the main stem getting about seven inches wide. This plant flowers best in a full sun location. The rapid growth makes it an excellent plant for covering fences or arbors; clinging vines attach themselves to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets. Trumpet Creeper can take the form of a small shrub if it does not have structure to climb. * Fast growing* Vining habit* Bright red orange flowers
