Daylily flowers are edible and quite tasty and so is this one. However, be not fooled. It only just looks like strawberry candy; its heavily ribboned petals are strawberry cream pie pink; its striking eyezone is strawberry parfait rose. Add a picoteed rim of icy strawberry sorbet and we have the perfect, calorie-free dessert for your evening stroll. Just look; don’t eat. Clusters of these 4” flowers adorn its 26” stems in June-July and repeat later. ‘Straw-berry Candy’ will blend perfectly with Baptisia australis ‘Caspian Blue’ as well as almost any blue or lavender iris. This is a Patrick Stamile hybrid.

Arguably the finest daylily hybridizer ever, Patrick Stamile introduced this dazzling cultivar in 1996. It is in very short supply and, at this moment, is being offered on the internet for $100 per single fan division. You’ll immediately understand why when you see the perfectly picoteed peach-pink petals of this perky perennial. Why Stamile named it ‘Wild Mustang’ is beyond our ken. Have you ever seen a pink horse? Its flower is six inches wide and has a distinct red eye zone merging to yellow then green in the throat. It has fragrant 23-24” flower scapes in July-August and will rebloom. It’s a “tet” meaning it has a double set of chromosomes insuring heavier substance throughout the entire plant.

Named for Ireland’s greatest plantswoman, Helen Dillon, doyenne of Dublin, this Heuchera (pronounced <Hoi’ker a> by the cogniscenti and <Hew’ ker a> by the rest of us: “ch” is always a “k” sound in Latin,) has extra large coral pink flowers on 20” stems from late spring into summer. We hope this plant will remind some of you that coral bells needn’t have purple leaves to be beautiful. This native genus is regarded to be one our very finest. We are happy to re-introduce a form, although much showier than the wild one, which is much more akin to what mother nature originally intended.
Sun Exposure: Partial shade to full sun

The inexplicable splendor of green and silver scrolls marks the leaves of this notable North American native. Its foliage is so luminescent that the flowers may first appear to be a mere afterthought, yet they too contribute to the overall elegance of the plant with their multiple white dangling bells on graceful, 24” stems from late spring well into summer. The rich purple veining which emanates from the heart of each leaf persists all season and even throughout winter, providing a shimmering, albeit subtle, foliage effect in light shade or full sun all year. PPAF --- asexual propagation is prohibited.
