| Hosta 'Revolution' – Revolution Plantain Lily |
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
We have Hostas ‘Patriot’, ‘Minuteman’, ‘Loyalist’ and now ‘Revolution’. Is this garden warfare? ‘Revolution’ has leaves of heavy substance, which are dark green with creamy white centers. The white of the leaf has a shadow of soft green, which darkens as the season progresses. Grows 12-24” tall. Similar to Hosta ‘Loyalist’ in appearance except the leaves are more rounded. The striking variegation of this selection will function as a flare in the dark nooks of your shade garden. Load your weapons! Don’t shoot ‘til you see the whites of their leaves!
Sun Exposure: Full to Partial Shade
Cold Hardiness: Zones 4-9
Spacing: 12"
Growth Rate: Moderate

Lavandula angustifolia 'Coconut Ice' (PPAF) – Coconut Ice Lavender |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We offer the classic oxymoron: a white lavender. How can lavender be white? A plant, which is the very definition of a color, is defying conventional wisdom! If you don’t find that bit of plant rebellion too shockingly inappropriate, focus instead on the very dense and compact silver foliage. Phenomenal! No more “Mr. Scruffy” lavender. Here’s a plant that’ll look better than you expect, not worse. And the white flowers add to that. Plant tip! Lavenders like dry, alkaline soil in full sun. Lime them every spring. No big deal. Worth the effort.
Sun Exposure: Full Sun
Cold Hardiness: Zones 6-9
Spacing: 12"
Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast
Water Needs: Requires very well-drained alkaline soil

Lonicera serotina 'Honeybush' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A sport of Lonicera ‘Serotina’ with highly fragrant flowers in summer and fall that are purple outside and yellow inside on a semi-evergreen vine with dark green foliage. A vigorous growing vine to 12’ or more, ‘Honeybush’ will not be invasive as some other cultivars of Honeysuckle vine. Did you know that the intensely fragrant “southern honeysuckle” is Japanese honeysuckle and one of our country’s most invasive weeds?
Sun Exposure: Full Sun
Cold Hardiness: Zone 5-9
Spacing: 18"
Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast
Water Needs: Moist well-drained soil

Monarda 'Petite Wonder' (PPAF) – Petite Wonder Bee Balm |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Developed at the Morden Research Centre in Manitoba Canada, this Monarda is slightly smaller in stature than Monarda ‘Petite Delight’ only reaching 9-12” tall and spreading to 18” wide. Lovely clear pink flowers in July bloom atop dark green foliage that has good disease resistance. ‘Petite Wonder’ has none of the invasiveness of its taller brethren and a better color than its more magenta counterpart, ‘Petite Delight’. Great in the front of your border or for massing!
Sun Exposure: Full Sun
Cold Hardiness: Zones 3-8
Spacing: 12'
Growth Rate: Slow to Moderate
Water Needs: Moist well-drained soil
