Coneflower - Summer Sky
Coneflower Summer Sky, Echinacea 'Summer Sky' (PP#18,783), is a delightful new coneflower with bicolor flowers!  The large 5 flowers are light orange with a rose colored halo and orange cone. A member of the Big Sky™ series, and one of the most popular varieties we offer, it is appropriately name since this new echinacea resembles the colors of a romantic summer evening sky! It is known to hold its stunning flower color longer than other coneflowers.  The flowers are held on very stout stems and make an exciting cut flower. For best results, plant in full sun in a well drained area. Echinacea is known for its large flower heads that turn to seed in the fall. It is a great choice for cut flowers, and it adds a wilderness look to your garden. Not only is it a prized perennial for many gardeners, but it is also said to be a potent medicine. Echinacea is said to increase immune function, reduce the effects of cold and flu, and fight off viral, bacterial and fungal infections.  This plant adapts to drought, moist soil, heat, humidity and poor soil.  Coneflowers do double duty when it comes to benefiting wildlife.  The new flowers provide nectar for butterflies and other pollinators, while old flowers provide seed for songbirds. 'Summer Sky' is a prolific bloomer with a heavenly scent, so plant it where you can enjoy its color as well as its fragrance! * Stout stems * Heat and humidity tolerant * Bicolor flowers

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  

Daylily - Ruby Stella - DetailsDaylily - Ruby Stella - Sale Price: $49.95
The Daylily 'Ruby Stella', Hemerocallis 'Ruby Stella', is a durable perennial with grass-like leaves that produces showy clusters of deep wine-red lily-like fragrant blooms on tall stems. The flowers appear in late spring to early summer and continue until frost.  ‘Ruby Stella’ is in its full glory by July! Unlike most daylilies, it reblooms throughout summer, with sufficient reliability that it is categorized as ever-blooming.  It grows 14-18 inches tall and 18-24 wide. Even though drought tolerant, ‘Ruby Stella’ blooms much better with regular watering.  Plant in drifts for maximum effect! The mounding strap-like foliage adds a textural element to the garden when not in bloom.  Deer resistant. Individual flowers last only one day, but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last more than a month.  Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds; attracts butterflies. Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion.  Divide every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline.  This ravishing beauty is a proven top perennial performer! * Compact habit * Ever blooming * Durable
