Hyssop - Blue Fortune - DetailsHyssop - Blue Fortune - Sale Price: $42.75
Hyssop Blue Fortune, Agastache 'Blue Fortune', originates from the Greek word aga, meaning very much, and stachys, meaning spikes, referring to the many flower spikes.  One of the easiest and most rewarding perennials to grow, this award winning 'Blue Fortune' is a tremendously long bloomer! 'Blue Fortune' is useful for adding a spot of color to the garden late in the season when many other plants are finished.  Its foliage smells distinctly like black licorice when crushed. This variety of Hyssop is more tolerant of cold winters and wet soil.  ‘Blue Fortune’ needs full sun to light shade and dry to medium soil. Peak bloom occurs in midsummer and attracts butterflies.  If you'd like to restrict the height of this tall perennial, pinch back its blue-green foliage in spring before the flower buds are formed. Plant this handsome low-maintenance clumping perennial in a sunny location.  You can enjoy its long lasting blooms and color, especially late in the season when other plants begin to fade! * Mildew resistant * Long blooming * Easy to grow

Hosta - Sum and Substance - DetailsHosta - Sum and Substance - Sale Price: $99.95
The Hosta Sum and Substance, Hosta 'Sum and Substance', has large, rounded leaves with heavy puckering.  This Hosta is slug resistant and a vigorous grower! The lavender flowers bloom from July to August, however, Hostas are not only known for their flowers.  With a plant height of 36” and a spread of 60”, this is a giant plant with colorful foliage that will need space to grow! Hosta ‘Sum and Substance’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained location.  ‘Sum and Substance’ does require some sun to enhance its golden color. ‘Sum and Substance’ was named Hosta of the Year in 2004, and one can see why.  The flowers are on 50” scapes, making it one of a kind! Plant this low care plant in an area that receives the right amount of light.  The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves.   ‘Sum and Substance’ is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant.  A great choice for any beginner gardener. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.  Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  ‘Sum and Substance’ is a huge plant with stunning leaves that will light up any large shady space! * Slug resistance * Fragrant flowers * Vigorous grower

Phlox - Emerald Pink - DetailsPhlox - Emerald Pink - Sale Price: $39.95
Phlox Emerald Pink, Phlox subulata 'Emerald Pink', ushers in spring with a profusion of fabulous color. This low growing creeping phlox is no taller than 6. Phlox 'Emerald Pink' has a compact habit that is perfect for borders and rock gardens. Mass plantings of 'Emerald Pink' will create a beautiful sea of pink in your garden landscape! Gritty, slightly alkaline soils are preferred and good drainage is essential for 'Emerald Pink'.

The needle-like semi-evergreen foliage forms a tough, durable ground cover. During the winter, in cold areas, the plants may die back and recover again in the spring. * Attracts Butterflies * Blooms Late Spring * Deer Resistant
