The Saul Brothers have done it again! This new Coneflower has blooms that are 4 inches across and are a rich bright yellow color with a central brown cone. With superior garden performance, the flowers won’t fade or wilt, even in the worst summer heat, and if you cut them for the vase, they’ll go strong for 2 weeks or so! The plant itself is quite compact - just about 2’ high and wide and very well branched. It blooms in July and reblooms later in the season when deadheaded.

Hosta ‘Eskimo Pie’ is an amazing new sport of
the popular H. ‘Northern Exposure’. Each round, corrugated, blue-green leaf is highlighted by a large, creamy central pattern. As the season progresses, the central pattern lightens to near white.
