| Geranium ‘Dilys’ - Cranesbill |
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
A hybrid by Alan Bremner (G. procurrens x G. sanguineum) making widely spreading mats of green leaves, topped with magenta-purple flowers that have dark purple eyes and purple veining. One of its most significant features is that, unlike most geraniums that flower June to July, Geranium ‘Dilys’ flowers late in the season from July to November. A great addition to the late season garden!

Geranium ‘Joy’ - Cranesbill |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A lovely hybrid between G. traversii and G. lambertii created by Alan Bremner in the lovely (albeit obscure) Orkney Islands north of Scotland. Geranium ‘Joy’ makes a mound of felty, marbled gray-green leaves with pale-pink flowers centered rose from June until September. It’s easy to grow, a joy to behold and another endearing charmer which should be shunned by fanciers of crassly crude garden coloration.
Sun Exposure: Full to Partial Sun
Cold Hardiness: Zone 5-8
Spacing: 12"
Growth Rate: Moderate
Water Needs: Moist, well drained soil of neutral pH

Hemerocallis ‘Daring Deception’ - Daylily |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A very unique and striking introduction! Large, 5 inch flowers of the palest lavender-pink with contrasting black-purple edges and eyezone above a green throat are produced on 24 inch scapes in early to mid season. This is a semi-evergreen, tetraploid rebloomer. A strikingly bold cultivar that provides ample evidence of how far beyond the lowly roadside tawny lily hybridizers have progressed in the last generation.
Sun Exposure: Full to Partial Sun
Cold Hardiness: Zone 3-9
Spacing: 12-15"
Growth Rate: Moderate
Water Needs: Prefers moist, well drained soil

Heuchera ‘Mint Frost’ - Coral Bells |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| With frosty silver and minty green marbled foliage, Heuchera ‘Mint Frost’ is an outstanding new introduction that makes a striking addition to the shade garden. Red petioles add to its appeal and the flowers are chartreuse with white. The foliage makes a great contrast with other Heucheras, Tiarellas and ferns. You may be wise to add a bit of lime and a bunch of coarse sand to your soil for this plant.
Sun Exposure: Partial Shade
Cold Hardiness: Zones 3-8
Spacing: 12"
Growth Rate: Moderate
Water Needs: Moist well drained soil with neutral pH

Heuchera ‘Molly Bush’ - Coral Bells |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hybridized by Allen Bush, legendary plantsman, and named for his only daughter, Molly when she still wore braces, this coral bell has the darkest, glossiest, crinkliest and densest foliage of all the new generations of purple leaf Heucheras. One might say it defines the category. Although most useful for its foliage effect, it also has the nicest flowers of all its rivals. It tends to color up somewhat better in full sun but also looks good in shade. Molly Bush, now fully grown, lean, lithe and lovely, has long since shed her braces.
