| Phlox divaricata 'Blue Elf' – Woodland Phlox |
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
This new dwarf woodland phlox grows only 6” tall and has medium blue flowers that bloom in May. It grows best in partial shade and spreads slowly by creeping rhizomes to form a groundcover. Plants should be cut back after flowering to encourage additional growth. Why not toss out that invasive, Japanese Pachysandra and let this delightful native be your flowering groundcover?
Sun Exposure: Partial Sun
Cold Hardiness: Zones 3–8
Spacing: 12" apart
Growth Rate: Moderate
Water and Soil Needs: Well drained soil that is

A new color for woodland phlox, it has deep lavender flowers from May to June. As with other woodland phlox it blooms best in partial sun and grows 15” tall. Plants spread slowly by creeping rhizomes but will soon form a groundcover mat with gorgeous spring flowers. Isn’t it time for you to join the “Stamp Out Pachysandra Society”?

| Physostegia 'Olympus Gold' – Obedient Plant |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Stunning new foliage emerges in spring as bright golden variegation later turning to light green, and cream. Typical obedient-like flowers, which are pale pink, occur during the summer. The older the clumps are, the more dramatic the effect. Amaze your friends by showing them how each floret can be turned 60 degrees to the right or left and will obediently hold that position. Grows 30” tall.

|
| A compact dwarf Salvia that grows only 8-10” tall with intense blue-violet flower spikes in late spring. If flowers are cut back after flowering, it will flower again later in the season. This compact and heavy-blooming dwarf will look great in the front of your border. Consider using it as a divider for a small knot garden. It will work equally well as a container plant!

| Sanguisorba menziesii 'Dali Marble' – Burnet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Previously unknown to horticulture but with great potential, this is an excellent plant for ponds and moist soils. Seven years ago Pierre Bennerup collected seeds of the parent on the side of a small pond at 10,500’ elevation in the marble-rich mountains above Dali in Yunnan Province, southwest China. One of the resulting seedlings was variegated. By dividing that plant yearly we have finally produced enough plants to offer. It grows 4’ tall and produces beautiful maroon, bottlebrush-like flowers in July and August. The blue-green toothed leaves have an eye-riveting white edge. PPAF, propogation is prohibited.

This year we have a new Sedum with foliage that has a violet undertone, making it the darkest foliage of any Sedum to date. The flowers are the deepest ruby-red of any Sedum we’ve seen and appear in August and September. Grows about 16” tall. You have enough green in your garden. You really need this.

| Syneilesis aconitifolia – Shredded Umbrella Plant |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This is a rare woodland plant, native to Japan and Korea often found on dry hillsides. In early spring, the white wooly leaves push through the ground like may apples. The fascinating foliage flattens out atop 18” stems by mid-spring. As the rhizomes slowly spread, it will form a colony of plants about 2’ wide in 5 years. The flowers are insignificant, but the foliage, which does indeed resemble shredded umbrellas, is sure to grab attention.
