Violet - Purple Showers
Violet Purple Showers, Viola 'Purple Showers', is very appropriately named! The large 2 electric purple flowers will shower your landscape nearly all spring and summer! 'Purple Showers' blooms profusely in spring and then continues with sporadic flowering until fall. The 8 flower stems rise nicely above the foliage and make excellent cut flowers. Violets grow best in cool, moist, shady environments. In the north, plants can tolerate full sun but prefer partial to full shade. Shade from deciduous trees is ideal because the plants growing below receive full sun in the spring, followed by protection from the harsh summer sun once the trees get their leaves. If plants are cut back after the first bloom cycle, they will likely bloom again in the fall. Deadheading spent flowers will prolong the blooming season and promote a new flush of growth. Use this plant as a groundcover or as an edge. It also makes a great container plant! Enjoy the dancing blooms atop the low mounds of glossy green, heart-shaped leaves!

The Daylily Yellow Lollipop, Hemerocallis 'Yellow Lollipop', produces lightly ruffled, medium yellow flowers that bloom from early spring to frost! The Yellow Lollipop is a compact re-blooming daylily that matures at 12 inches high.  Daylilies are some of the easiest plants to grow and are a good choice for any gardener.  They will grow in almost any soil and handle drought to wet soil conditions. Use 'Yellow Lollipop' for mass plantings, edging, in borders or in mixed containers and tubs.   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; attracts butterflies. Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone). Receiving many awards, 'Yellow Lollipop' is a charming and delightful daylily that would look stunning when planted in front of displays of ‘Woodside Amethyst’.  What an amazing contrast of color they would create together! * Long blooming * Compact, dwarf * Durable

If you leave some spent blooms on the plants in fall their seeds provide winter food for birds.  You can enjoy the dried seed heads as well, because they will provide architectural interest in the winter. ‘Hot Papaya’ provides a season-long colorful display of outstanding, two toned, daisy-like flowers.  You can’t beat the intensity of the color, which will bring a brilliant show to a sunny location! * Fragrant * Long lasting blooms * Food for wildlife
